Hi Jim,
UFO's you say.....not been 'hittin' a few single malts at the same time as the books, have we ?? ...

I've posted the sword on SFI ....it has been suggested that as the stirrup guard would have been steel, it would have been un-usual for a French sword. The langets were also questionable for a French sword. Suggested countries were Italy or even Britain. The Langet shape is a common 'British' shape ...but I have not found one with the 'striped' design.

Kind Regards David
