Pattern proto mortury sword Royal Armouries

[DavidIEvans]

There a small group of 9 swords in the Royal Armouries with a single example of the style in the National Army Museum that all look like this

The NAM example is this one

I can recall seeing other examples of this style for sale but can not for the life of me remember where.

Has anyone seen this style in auctions or other museums ?

I’m not sure if my local Museum has one (it does look familiar). I don’t know if this will work- it’s a virtual tour: HERE (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Combined+Military+Services+Museum/@51.7351693,0.683441,17z/data=!4m8!1m2!3m1!2sCombined+Military+Services+Mus eum!3m4!1s0x47d8e13b2110212f:0xb7a9bc5d63867f7d!8m 2!3d51.734841!4d0.6831593)


Alternatively, go to google maps, search CMSM Maldon, scroll down the menu on the left and there should be a ‘360 view’ in the photo section.

A quick look indicates there is one so an email dropped to them to check.

Many Thanks :)
