Michael, as always, you're on top of your game!
I haven't seen this one 'en vivo', but will do so this weekend. It's rare to see a European piece like this in our parts [New England], and when one does appear, it is from an old family estate, where it sat for hundreds of years. For instance, I have just purchased a superb pappenheimer broadsword that was found in an old house in Connecticut, literally days ago. I'll keep you posted! |

I can see at least three marks on the rear flats of the barrel! Watch out for them when you are there!
The one in the middle should be the maker's or dealer's mark, the two at the left and the right must be SVL and the hen!!! m Last edited by Matchlock; 28th September 2010 at 09:25 PM. |

You know, I may be completely off base here, but looking at the martial weapons of that period, I see a notable disparity between the edged weapons and the firearms. Even the most utilitarian munition grade swords have some kind of decorations, be it the most crude designs or shapes, whereas the firearms are austere.
