Thanks Dmitry.

No answer yet, but I was directed to another source, which apparently served as an inspiration for A.North - Catalogue de la collection d'armes anciennes européennes et orientales de Charles Buttin, publ. Rumilly, 1933, namely the examples 96-100.

Hi Jim,

My library has this magazine. I will check if they have the volume with the article you seek and scan it for you in the next few days.

All the best and drive safe in the new year

Hi Emanuel,
Thanks so much! Its good to hear from you.
Happy new year to you also!

We're 'becalmed' for a while, not much driving for another month or so.......the bookmobile is definitely not good in ice!

Dmitry,
Thanks very much for the heads up on the Buttin source. Very much appreciate the assist and I'll check that out.

All very best regards,
Jim

Good grief! I guess I better be more careful in wording.....certainly never even thought of that perception and have often used the heads up expression.

My sincere intent was to express appreciation for the notice on the 'Charles Buttin' reference, which has long been colloquially termed 'Buttin' among collectors. I would never use that name in such a derogatory manner, the Buttin's are proudly good personal friends of mine for many years.

I appreciate humor as much as the next guy, but not particularly at such expense, and in this case in poor taste.

Here you go Jim,

I'll send you a pdf version shortly. The Venetian storta immediately came to mind when I saw the sword. The one below is a 15th century Venetian example (p.48 Swords and Hilt Weapons, Weidenfeld and Nicholson, London 1989).

A very interesting article, I'll be sure to mine the magazine for other such gems.

All the best,
Emanuel
