Hi,

Here is it. Recently on auction from a well known european auction house.

Very beautifull indeed... BUT... a composite piece?

I would guess that those double head eagle engravings in style are from the end of the 18th century at most, when schiavonas were not in use anymore.

There is also an engraving CVI, wich denote Domenico Contarini, Doge from 1659 to 1675. I do not think that blade is from 17th century.

What do you think about thatone?
