17th walloon sword
Hi guys,
A sword of the "Walloon" type I think around 1650-1700. I think for the infantry, because less massive. The wood was replaced a long time ago. Anyone know of a similar model? |

Thank you. It is indeed a more widespread model. There are 3 branches, and the blade is larger. You could say it's from the same family.

That's exactly it, thank you very much! It allows me to see the original appearance of the handle.

 Did you find the sword in France ? If so, do you know if has been in France for long ? I'm asking as I'm thinking about how it got there. Collectors item taking a walk or battle at Steenkerke 1692(?) |

Yes, I am from the North of France, but I bought this sword from a professional seller in the East of France. So it's impossible to know if she participated in the Battle of Steenkerke ...

The infantry and pioneers at the battle of Steenkerque ( now Belgium and at the time the Southern Netherlands ) were under command of the Duke of Wurrtemberg which is shown here not with a rapier but with an infantry sword of course more elaborate but of the same type as yours.
