Default Two very rare Nuremberg woodcuts

The first by Sebald Beham, the second by Erhard Schön, both 1530's.

Sorry for cutting them into two but that was the only way to save them from the web and retain them in reasonable size.

Great, Kisak,

Thank you!

Would you consider becoming my private computer tutor?

From:

Flavius Vegetius Renatus, De re mlitari (On military equipment), 1512.

Note the curved quillons as a pre-stage to the figure 8 Katzbalger quillons which do not seem to have evolved before ca. 1510.
