A PORTUGUESE CUP HILTED SWORD
From the period of King Dom João V (circa 1700).
Not a noble man's court piece, but a regional warrior specimen. As atypical details, the knuckleguard, which is neider screwed ( military) nor loose (civilian), but welded into the pommel; and the double ball patterning in the knuckle bow. I hope you people like it. Fernando |
