Hi Teodor,

Thank you kindly for the wealth of information and the suggested attributions. It is self-evident I need to expand my reference library...

I guess that is the downside to collecting for representation of form, as rarely does one accumulate enough examples of a given type to justify the acquisition of material dedicated to the study of arms and armor of a particular culture.

Maybe the fleur de lis will further reveal information pertaining to the sword's attribution?

Cheers,

Chris
