Another two smallswords for comment
Hello all,
Thank you for the feedback on the other swords I have posted. I appreciate the combined knowledge of the group. Especially with how much remains unknown around smallswords, every piece of additional information is a gem in my view.
My next smallsword is a dainty steel hilted piece decorated with classical iconography in gold damascening. The pas d'ane guard is asymmetrical with earlier style pronounced annelets. The grip is bound in fine twisted silver wire.
It sports a long and stiff, un-signed hollow ground tri-form blade with fairly typical engraving and signs of gilding.
Length OA: 958mm
Blade Length: 820mm
P.O.B: 110mm
Weight: 270 gram
