A 17th century sword with a lionheaded pommel for comment .

[Cerjak]

Thank you Jim, as usually your comment is very well documented .

Jasper,
Your photos shows two dogs head pommel I'm wondering if dog head and lion head pommel were in use in same period .
Two more examples with more elaborate hilts from "blankwaffen Seitz, Heribert ".
the left sword with the wire bound grip style with some similarity.

I believe one of the inscriptions under the hand brandishing a scimitar reads:
Si deus pro nobis
Quis contra nos
(If God is with us, who can be against us)
and the one in the same position on the other side
Inter arma...
(Among weapons ...)

Thank you Jasper
Unfortunately this motto is even more relevant today.
I still try to find out for the last inscription.

His hand writing is unreadable, I guess we did not go to the same School!
