Simple fancy Dusägge
Dear All,
Happy new year! I just purchased this Dusägge. Should be around 1600. The decoration, especially the pommel, is kind of fancy. Sadly the condition is quite poor. It was covered with paint, I just removed as well as I could. Will give it a bit more treatment the next days. On the blade I found some marks, which appear to me as 3 crowns (the middle one seems to be mostly gone by rust). Does anyone know this mark? A similar piece is shown at https://digitaltmuseum.se/0110244163...%22S-AM%22&i=6 This piece is dated as beginning 17th century. Do you think that´s also fitting to my one? Looking forward to your comments. Cheerio Andreas |

You are right Andreas; it looks like three King's heads, a mark typically used by Solingen smiths ... the Wundes family ?

Does anyone have some information about the style of the pommel and the crossguard? I have never seen a similiar one except the one from the link.
Best regards Andreas |
