So, back in the day before Museum Replicas, Limited (MRL) was bought out by Windlass Steelcrafts of India, and moved to selling pretty much only Windlass products, MRL used to provide the work of a variety of makers, such as Arms & Armor and Del Tin. One of the more unique crafters was an Austrian blacksmith, Johann Schmidberger. Probably his signature piece was the so-called "Austrian Masterpiece" sword, a large hand and a half type of simple but elegant form.
I wrote up a description of him and his work in the attached document for download. Enjoy!
