From reenactment experience - yes, they do. Good at annoying other people too. I can see why so-called scarf / town / pillow swords became popular. Pepys comments in Jan 1659/60 on a Colonels large...

I suspect that there are just variations, but possibly also driven by what you will be wearing on your hand. The C17th infantry swords I have (some hangers and a proto-mortuary sword) have small...

Jim,

Yes - identifying if the book that appears in a search is the right volume is the problem. None matched the exact title. The Royal Armouries have a copy.

Jim,
I'd forgotten that the Sandal Castle example was curved - I bought the Caldwell book for the basket hilt article too. Good spot. I think in Mazansky its a close up photo so the blade isn't...

Hi,

Reading about 1630s English militia and they - pikemen and musketeers - are recommended to have "a sword right Turkey with a good basket hilt".

Thanks Cornelis.

Yes, the grooves struck me as odd. Is this a 'pattern' weapon for Dutch cavalry? I'm aware of some shell guard weapons being specified in the 1590s, but that's it.

Any info...

This is mine. Needs a bit of a clean up. No markings on the blade, which is 38" long. Surprisingly handy for such a hefty weapon if you finger the blade at the ricasso.

Wanted: C17th rapier dish guard

Massive long shot, but if you don't ask etc as I've seen all sorts of pieces out there.

Sounds very like the execution of the Duke of Monmouth, where he is supposed to have glared at the executioner whilst the botch job was going on.
