A possible Schiavona ancestor

Matchlock · 5th September 2011, 08:44 PM

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
