I wonder whether some of our members is familiar with this mark, apparently a stylized P.
Would be much obliged for any ideas !

.. Maybe someone with Armi Bianche Italiane by Boccia & Coelho ? (Quote)

Thank you for adding this Fernando and I appreciate its being added here for the benefit of our study of markings. As has been indicated by Michael in the original thread it would seem most likely that this would be from the workshops of Peter Pogl in Thorl, early 16th century. He was armourer for the Emperor Maximilian. In Italy a majescule P surmounted by a crown in known 16th century, very much the period for these gisarmes.
