Hi Jim & Fernando
Thank you for your research about the latten-inlaid decoration. The cross in a circle are seen in several medieval blades (see type XIIA-4 record of the medieval sword) and also type 13a with also double fullers sold by TDM IN 2009 Who has also a cross and hearth. Unfortunately the picture don’t show it. Also ,this cross seems to be for me a cross crosslet ( crusader’s ring) best Jean-Luc |

I really know nothing of swords of this age but it looks like maybe some sort of black liquid was applied to the sword to form a "crust" over the top of the metal? But it was wiped clean from the inlaid areas to make sure those areas showed through?
Do the areas of delamination also seem to be sort of thick and heavy? |
