[QUOTE=cornelistromp]some side notes;
the sword can be 14thc..... but also as late as 1450, which I count a very good probability. the coat of arms is of d'Aubusson de La Feuillade Family from france. see Attachements. in the French language for d'Aubusson de La Feuillade http://gillesdubois.blogspot.nl/2008...daubusson.html maybe and with some Imagination the sword of Pierre D'Aubusson! it has the same blade Geometry and pommel as on a 15thC drawing of Pierre D'Aubusson. Pierre d'Aubusson, Grand Master of the order of Knight hospitaller, St. John on Rhodes in the late 15 thC. you should try to find the original of this reproduction; http://www.histophile.com/epee-d-aubusson-e3288.html best, jasper[/QUOTE Thank you Jasper .So it is a French sword and at less from a member of the order of Knight hospitaller but I did not expected this sword to be mid 15 Century.. Jim had the good feeling that it could be French “Naturally it seems almost instinctive to regard this as French, however in those times things were not quite as clear cut nationally” best Jean-Luc |
