			I have been desperately trying to locate an article which I seem to have lost, and am hoping somebody out there might be able to help.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	It is: "A Late 15th Century Italian Sword" by Anthony North The Connoisseur Magazine, December 1975, pp.238-241 I'd really appreciate it! Its maddening to know I had it, but cant find it here in the bookmobile after countless excavations in the packed cabinets ![]() Thanks guys ! All the best, Jim  |

			No answer yet, but I was directed to another source, which apparently served as an inspiration for A.North - Catalogue de la collection d'armes anciennes européennes et orientales de Charles Buttin,  publ. Rumilly, 1933, namely the examples 96-100.

			Hi Jim, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	My library has this magazine. I will check if they have the volume with the article you seek and scan it for you in the next few days. All the best and drive safe in the new year ![]() Emanuel  |
