Swords a la Portuguese ... Part two

I understand how you feel Fernando... The puzzle of these panels piques my curiosity, but I will no pretend that I have any particular insight one way or the other! The sword I refer to is the first one I posted (ie. not like what actually appears in the panels) - it makes sense in context in the book, it was just included at the end of a general overview of Portuguese swords in the 15th-16th century. The book is not online unfortunately... It's relatively short though, and not overly technical: the section on arms and armor is worth browsing at least.
