HI Marc,

that must be a nice piece then

Inventar der Waffensammlung des Bernischen Historischen Museums in Bern
by DR. Rudolf Wegeli
1929
II Schwerter und Dolche (swords and daggers)

I think it will be very hard (read impossible) to find this book.
if you give me the nr I will mail you the description. (in German, I can translate for you if you want)

Regards from Amsterdam

Well, I've seen worse...

Thank you, I really appreciate your kindness. The item in question is number 177. A translation from German would also indeed be extremely helpful, if it's not much of a nuisance...
Thank you very much again,
Marc
