Help pls. on 15th-17th C. cutlass & scimitar

[migueldiaz]

Hello all!

Following an earlier discussion on cutlasses and scimitars in this thread on the origin of the kampilan, I wish to pursue my amateur research on said cutlasses and scimitars.

I wonder if anyone can point me to a photo or an illustration of the following:

[1] a cutlass (Spanish preferably) used in the 16th century; and

[2] a scimitar of the type used in Europe during the 15th to the 17th century.

Thanks in advance!
