Of course I already browsed the forum

I expressed myself misleadingly: I mean images from that time (17th/18th c) showing soldiers or so wearing such sword.

Hi Andy and Fernando, I still feel these are among the underestimated items you can find on today's market, and few fakes so far because its not financialy rewarding. They are also a good learning base to start with and Fernando has some captivating varieties that you don't see often.
Bellow is a nice link with aditional information.
There is a nice book on these by Vicente Toledo Momparler.
kind regards

Yes, it seems so. I wonder how that comes, as (in my eyes) they are pretty pleasing shaped and the historical context is also interesting.

Kind regards
Andreas
