A Good Styrian Dusägge with Round Writhen Pommel, ca. 1580
In the collection of a friend of mine, purchased Christie's, 24 May 2006.
The grip covered with leather, the hilt ca. 1575, the rapier blade ca. 1630 and inscribed FRA?NSISCO RUYS in the Spanish manner, together with an orb and cross. Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 28th January 2011 at 09:04 PM. |

'Eyelash' or 'Toothed Bow' Decorative Marks on a ca. 1575 Styrian Rapier
For deeper discussions of these marks, please confer
http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=eyelash+marks http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=eyelash+marks http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=eyelash+marks BTW, we realize that the term eyelash is not anatominally correct as the lashes on these bows are on the wrong side.   'Sawtooth waveform' might be more fitting ... Best wishes, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 28th January 2011 at 09:26 PM. |
