We sure do Celtan! and thats what I love about this Forum, so we can all do that together. I'm really curious about the reference you mentioned, I've never seen that particular term applied to any Spanish sword. Was it one of the dusagge type sabres?

All the best,

Jim

Hi Jim,

The book it appears is in "Small Arms of the Spanish Treasure Fleets", p. 63-64. It discusses the lack of_regulation_ cutlasses and curved blades in the Spanish navy and army, citing they weren't officially accepted until 1806, albeit being used following personal preference.
