A Good Styrian Dusägge with Round Writhen Pommel, ca. 1580
In the collection of a friend of mine, purchased Christie's, 24 May 2006.
The grip covered with leather, the hilt ca. 1575, the rapier blade ca. 1630 and inscribed FRA?NSISCO RUYS in the Spanish manner, together with an orb and cross.
Best,
Michael
