The issue that I have with the other theory, the tripple X mark belonging to Dutch merchants or guild who onsold the swords, is that we only see this mark on this specific pattern of sword. If it was a merchants' mark we would see it on other types of swords. Below are screen shots I took of the article. To be honest, from what I read through Google Translate, it doesn't add much to the discussion either. Looking at their example, it also has a number of variations to the typical examples you see in the digital catalogue of the Dutch Army Museum (search for "Waalse degen"). |
