Default Forumites Private Collection Gallery with PROVENANCE!

Dear Forumites!

The big interest and success of VVV's (Michael's) "Dayak Parang Facegrip Gallery" brought me upon the idea to start this thread.
I think it would be very interesting to start a likewise gallery, but than concerning edged weapons with provenance, in the privat collections of all forumites amongst us.
These pieces are now discussed in several threads, so hard to find them all between the many threads posted in the forum.

Just post any weapon or armour from all over the world in this thread, as long as they are antique and have provenance.
Some images and short description of the provenance will do.
If wanted they can be discussed in seperate threads, to keep this thread as "clean and to the point" as possible!

Thank you already with your cooperation, and I hope another interesting thread arises here!

Kind regards,
Maurice
