I must admit I do love the superb artistic engraving on that blade - very time consuming and expensive work - someone important owned that puppy!

Yes,

I haven't seen that much engraving before on a sword like this.

Hello André,

Note that this is a very early thread - more examples have surfaced since.

Thanks for reminding me to add more to the other thread...

Regards,
Kai

Cheers Kai,

nice to her I have only found the one mentioned in this thread + the ones in my thread (where you show one from Maurits ).

If you come across more I'd like to see them
