Großes messer

The description here seems awfully close to that of the großes messer, to the point that I'm fairly certain that they are the same sword. If we could get some kind of reference to verify any differences, that would be great. Otherwise, I think this should be merged or deleted. There's not much here that's terribly specific.

If Albion-Swords is considered a reputable source, the gross messer [1] is a slightly shorter version of a falchion and a kriegsmesser [2] is essentially the same thing as a "long knife" on the grosses messer page.

Feel free to merge them as long as you put the kriegsmesser section seperate and under langes messer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ElbowLick (talk • contribs) 09:07, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
