Another item seeking the insights of you fine folks
![]() I've searched the forums for threads on stilettos, and the few examples were much more ornate than this plain example. Of course the seller of this item had limited information other than it was his grandfather's, and that it was older than the seller himself (40 years old). The blade seems too plain and modern to be period correct, but the hilt components might have some age to them. The blade has a hexagon cross-section, the pommel is peened, the guard is not cast, but seems to have been turned. So, is this someone's Renaissance Fair prop, or something more? As always, thank you for your insights. (Please let me know at what point I have to start paying tuition!) |
