The handle looks wrong, and the pommel looks a little worrying with that banded handle, but i'd have still said that its a late 17thC 'fighting' broadsword.
I think the blade and shell guard look fine together. Love to handle it and examine it in person. Nice sword. I'd have a punt at it if I got the chance. |
