Thanks for your coments, Zwielicht.
I am waiting for the sword to have a closer look to both blade crack and the tip; i guess the tip was broken by accident and not cut for shortening. |

Hi 'Nando,
My expert friend Ottmar says this was a North Italian variation of a very late schiavona type composed with a pommel of unusual shape, most probably put together in an arsenal for infantry armament in ca. the 1630's-40's. Best, Michl |

Ay, my friend,
None of us is perfect but united we can try and achieve the best possible results - I guess that's mainly why we are a community of forum members! And I sure am proud as a peacock of being part of it!!! Good night from a rainy and cold Bavaria, Michl Last edited by Matchlock; 6th September 2011 at 04:58 PM. |
