Hi gents,
I looking for information about the Dutch sword maker Chorus, who worked in Rotterdam during the 18th.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Jurriaan chorus was a sword maker, no sword master, he had between 1740 and 1748 his shop on the Noord (north) blaak in Rotterdam.
In 1740 he made a request to be the only sword maker in another town, Haarlem, however this request was disapproved.
There were hangers from him in the Visser collection, now in the rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

best,
Jasper
