Salve a tutti gli amici del forum
Dal museo Ecco un'altra spada purtroppo molto corrosa. Sulla lama ci sono tracce di una magnifica decorazione in agemina d'oro.

Di seguito le dimensioni, qualche foto e la mia identificazione.
Sarò molto grato se voleste aggiungere il vostro parere.

Ciao Cesare,
It must have been a fascinating blade decoration, indeed.
The owner of this sword was surely a proheminent person.

Hi Cesare,

The octagonal pommel is flat, right?

Best,
Michael
