Think you could post a smaller picture?......Hi,
Recently travelled through Europe and came across some daggers on display.
Does anyone know how these daggers blade pattern would have been originally etched given they are around 2-300 years old?
Thanks
Ah yes was a bit small ill try this one.
Was just wondering what methods were used back then

A quick Google came up with this article:

Acid-etched Metal in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe - Victoria and Albert Museum
Etching, derived from an ancient Germanic word for ‘eat’, uses corrosive acids to bite designs into hard surfaces. Between 1500 and 1750 production centred on southern Germany and northern Italy where etched armour was a speciality.
