DEL TIN'S HISTORY
Since 1965 we have been manufacturing with the utmost care in our workshop in Maniago, accurate high quality reproductions of selected old weapons and armour. Throughout these years we have analysed a great number of pieces typically found in museums and private collections and perfectly reproduced them. Our idea was to manufacture accurate replicas which in no way should be inferior in quality to their originals.
Nowadays the DEL TIN ARMI ANTICHE COMPANY led by Fulvio Del Tin, offers a wide range of original quality reproductions of old weapons from the bronze age through to the seventeenth century. Occasionally we use iconography of the time to create pieces no longer in existence.
Collectors worldwide have bought and appreciated our replicas which are also exibited in certain significant museums such as the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds (UK) where our products are also actively utilised in fighting demonstrations, something only items of superior quality would be capable of.
In addition to the aforementioned our weapons and armour have been shown in numerous educational exhibitions, drawing the attention of both the general public and experts in the field. Furthermore an added compliment was paid to the company when our products were chosen to be used in such films as Braveheart and Robin Hood which incidently won an Oscar.
As a result of a serious and accurate manufacturing process, our weapons possess very good characteristics and may be used in medieval and renaissance combat. Indeed for quite some time numerous groups in Europe and the USA have been practising the art of swordsmanship using our swords, rapiers and daggers. We do however recommend for those desiring to use our weapons to do so carefully and in the proper way to avoid running any risks.
All of our sword and dagger blades are made of well tempered Chrome-Vanadium steel with a hardness of 50HRC. Fulvio Del Tin personally tempers the steel, a very delicate operation upon which the manufacture of a superior blade depends.
We conclude by saying that our swords would even have been suitable for medieval knights who entrusted their lives and good fortune to blades of superior temper.
