Yes, Feldegen or Haudegen, northern European mid/late C17th to early C18th. From the looks of the side loops, there should be pierced guards in those. You can see the grooves where they sat. They're...

This looks more like it, but don't know any more on Moreno. 'Before 1700' may be too late.

Thanks. I'll translate that if possible. Now wondering if it is a C - which for some reason I didn't look at. It's a bit malformed for that letter though.

I pasted them into the word doc to try and avoid that. There's two shots of each side of the ricasso.

Another shot attached.

Not sure why they came out so large. They're clearer at a smaller scale like the attachment.

Here are some photos. Best I can do. At higher res they get more indistinct.
Same mark either side of the ricasso, just tried different angles to photograph it.

Thankyou both. I'll try all of the spellings.

The international trade in blades and swords in the C17th interests me.
I have a Pappenheimer (usually North German in style) which has a very...

Heinrich Kolle

Hello,

I am excitedly awaiting delivery of a sword tomorrow which has the blade stamped to one Heinrich Kolle along with a Passau wolf of Solingen. The hilt is mid C17th English.

I can't find...

That's a good idea. I've often read that they're cabalistic numbers, but with no explanation as to why *those* particular numbers were chosen. I like that suggestion.

Looks for the all the world like a zischagge (European cavalry helmet) of the 16202-70s, minus its tail.

AVB Norman is a key purchase.

I'm into mid C17th British swords (eg ECW era) so Stuart C Mowbrays 'British Military Swords Volume 1: 1600 - 1660'. It's mainly photos, but a great reference. ISBN...

Apologies for resurrecting this after such a long gap, but is there any evidence that there were two side guards on this? I can't see a screw hole on the pommel or signs of the recurved bars sitting...

I suspect the name came later, though I don't know what the wire knots on sword hilts were called in say the C17th.

Armourers mark

Hi,
I'm looking at an armourers or traders mark on a mid C17th sword. Its really difficult to photograph so I'll describe it. Blade may be continental.

Jim,

Apologies for any confusion - I was referring to the bandoliers being commonly used by Victorians but rarely in the mid C17th, the one example excepted.

Thanks for the reply. I'm discussing this with some C17th history enthusiasts - we all know the story as per my OP, but were all wondering at the first instance of its use.

Mortuary Sword - first use of the term?

Hello,

I've searched about and not found any sort of answer.

It's widely accepted that the name 'Mortuary Sword' is a misnomer as the faces found on some hilts don't commemorate Charles I (or...

I'm not sure which element you are referring too. In English, C19th collectors named these 'mortuary ' swords because some of the typical faces, often with the mid C17th 'van dyke' moustache,...

I have one of these with the usual conventional blade, but also owned one with a narrower and very much more curved blue & gilt blade (see pic) - so there were a number of variations.
