More a partisan than a spontoon

Hi Dirk,
Thanks a lot for your input.
To tell you the true, the seller also mentioned it would be Suedish, but he said he would have to consult his files for confirmation ... but i had no answer yet .
It was i who decided to use the term north european, instead of Suedish.
I would be most thankfull if you could scan those pages.

Hi fernando,

of course here are the pictures.
Little poor quality because i had to make it by a fax.

First one from Seitz which called it a swedish partisan 1620-1630.
This one seem to have a swolen tip. it has a octagonal (?) base and engravings of Gutav Adolph.

Second one some older auction results from Lyle which mentioned no country but the swollen tip. One 17 th century the other 18 th .

An by the way, i like your item very well

best regards

Dirk

Excelent info Dirk,
Surely my piece is a Swedish 17th century partisan.
Thank you very much indeed.
... and thank you for finding it an interesting item .
Fernando
