Age?
How old are these figural hilts?
The four I started this thread with all seem to be very old. Most of the ones I have seen so far seem quite old and often quite worn. The 4 I have I think (without any supporting proof) are 19th century or older. Is there any dating possible on any of these? Jensen works with data from old collections so he has sustainable proof. With our items it is more difficult but are there hints to date the hilts approximately? Regards, Erik |
