I had checked my files on the material i had on this piece, but i have failed to see who wrote the postings on the previous thread i have opened in the ethnographic Forum.
So sorry you had to repeat yourself .

Oh, yes, sure, I'll never, EVER, forgive you for making me to look again to this fantastically well-preserved exemplar of Spanish colonial cavalry sword! The annoyance! The pain! The horror!

Thats a a beauty Fernando.

I love the way the simple steel guard bars have been adorned with brass/bronze 'beads'.
I love 'working' swords. I bet that when it was new, the contrast between the gold and silver of the guard with the rich brown of the wood would have looked very fine indeed
As of course it still does now. A fine fighting sword indeed!

Gene
