Hi,
Does anybody have any thoughts as to a stand of arms on a hunting sword rather than the usual hunt and forest scenes? I did find one other example of a hunting sword with a stand of arms and it had, if memory serves, a similar hilt and mounts. Was this just the penchant of one particular maker or would it have been a customer request or was it perhaps not just for the hunt?.
Regards,
Norman.

P.S. In my original post I stated the max thickness as 5/8 inch this should be in fact 5/16 inch, apologies.
