For the identity of the German blade maker, possibly numbers 49 and 88 of this catalogue are relevant.

The crucified Christ, with or without the cross, the MIN SENAL motto, the mention EN ALEMANIA, whether by Coel - Köhl - Col not, are allusive motives that were used by several smiths, famous and not, originators of the said symbols us just replicators. Take a look at theses few swords shown in a exhibition of Portuguese/Spanish ornamental art held in 1882 in the Academy of Beaux Arts. In some cases is the symbol/motto that figures, in others figures the smith names ... or his marks. . |
