Great examples! I have always loved these and their cousins: Scottish dirks.

I I remember it correctly I have never seen a three-lobed dagger before. So this one is just highly remarkable in my eyes!

The three lobes are THE reason I mentioned in post1 this type the mother of the typical landsknecht dagger . typical landsknecht dagger = picture d around 1460 this ballock dagger came also with three wooden lobes. picture a and the pictures in my previous post. A little later at the end of the 15th century the lobels of the ballock types were made of metal instead of wood. photo b. ( the classical ballock with wooden lobes also still exists next to it) This dagger type evaluates in the first half of the 16th century with three short pareers rods and a sandwich metal grip. picture c Alongside this type also the distinctive landsknecht dagger with three parry blades found live. picture d best, Jasper |
