Hi mark,
great input thank you, also good examples of similar types of swords and similar decorations, amazing!
all I know is that the sword comes from a Hungarian collection and according to the collector it was in his possession for over 20 years, on the sword was mentioned wisiqradi, I do not know if this is the name of a collection or if it is a location where it was found.
I was also thinking of an Eastern European or Baltic origin.
ps: did you see the snake/mythical animal somewhere before?
thanks+vbw
Jasper
