Beautiful, 'Nando,

Thank you so much!

I love historical sources of illustration.

Best,

Damn these Iberian arming swords with upturned quillons are beautiful.. we had somewhat similar pieces back here in Kingdom of Hungary as well as Southeastern Europe in general (iirc museums in Belgrade or Sarajevo host some pieces with upturned crossguards) - but I daresay these are not as magnificent as weapons coming from Portugal or Spain...

Many thanks for the pictures Fernando
