Swords in Dubrovnik

[Victrix]

I spent a few lovely days in Dubrovnik (Ragusa) on the Dalmatian coast. Visited the Rector’s Palace and the Maritime Museum but they did not have many swords. Split had more arms in the museum.

The old town of Dubrovnik is indeed excellent to visit, but for cold weapons you have to be in Zagreb; the history museum holds a most outstanding collection

Tip for the ones who wanna stay a couple of days, instead of expensive Dubrovnik, one can stay for good prices excellently just outside the town in villages like Kupari, Mlini or Cavtat

Thank you for your advice! The History Museum in Zagreb is now on my to-do list!

Do you know what the circular spheres common on schiavona pommels represent by any chance?

You’re welcome. But unfortunately I can not answer your question concerning schiavona pommels….looking forward to any answer as well.

Am I seeing it wrong or is the blade in pictures 1 & 3 orientated with the back of the blade facing forward?
