A Venetian Schiavona for comment

Hi Casey,

you are welcome !
The schiavona looks even better than in the first pictures !
It has a very nice patina, condition is better than I expected and the shape and design are elegant and of a very rare type !
Concerning your question of the upward curve the last inches of the blade, It difficult to Judge from the pictures but It could indeed be that it is forged that way.
I have a very long rapier in my collection with a spatula type blade, it has a slightly flatter and broader tip in the last 4 inches.

kind regards
Ulfberth
