Thanks for your comments Jim! Now I have a new book to add to my 'I want that' list. If I may ask, are there any listings for a similar AB mark in Southwick?
I really feel like the both the S-H and AB mark should be searchable since they are quite distinct marks. Hopefully I can track them down since they may give more hints to the origin of this piece.
Another thing I'd love to know is if the Museo Oro del sword also has the same AB mark or the S-H mark. Anyone here from Lima?
I think the idea of a commemorative sword makes sense. Any idea of who was getting these this type of piece made, or do you know of any similar examples?
