King Ulászló II grants CoA, 1500. Single fuller, rain guard and X pattern on the handle. Very Germanic?
Opinions? https://adatbazisokonline.mnl.gov.hu...s/adatlap/4103 |

King Louis of Hungary grants CoA to Bernát Sapharych of Sywecz, György Sapharych of Sywecz, István Sapharych of Sywecz. 1517. What caught my eye was the gold wire wrap on his sword's hilt. It's very faint, so could be just confirmation bias.

Quote:
Certainly the features of the hilt are very typical in Germany and adjacent lands at this time. For comparison, a Swiss painting in the Met of approximately the same date. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437770 Here is a contemporary painting, dated 1508 and by a Transylvanian artist, Vicentius of Hermannstadt (modern Sibiu). The S-shaped quillons are broad and probably grooved, as seen on these sabers posted earlier. The rainguard is the cuff-shaped type which seems to be relatively more common in the east. |

I was wondering about those sabre-like fittings on that sword scabbard from Hungary. Incidentally I found these two depictions: Poganovo monastery in Serbia with frescos from 1499 done by greek artists: http://yt1r.weebly.com/page11.html And these from Cozia monastery in Wallachia from 1542-43. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...&postcount=129 Last edited by Teisani; 27th March 2023 at 08:23 AM. |
