in the first quarter of the 17th century was the ballock dagger no longer in use but the left hand guillon dagger was used in combination with the rapier.
re post 36
this is 100% plagiarism, one on one copy and paste from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagger
please see it as spam.
I really have a problem with people who besides have read poorly in the subject, post quantity, most of the time blind copy and paste images and text from internet, rather than quality.
it is unfortunate that qualitatively interesting threads will get a little infected by these spam.
nevertheless I will persevere and I'm going to start a new thread about the successor of this archetype ballock dagger.
It is also a ballock dagger with sharp angular lines in the grip and the "testicles", a development that emerged in the Gothic architecture in the second half of the 15th century.
I do not hope that fellow forum members are put off by the above, any sincere interested reaction and questions are more than welcome.
hope we can put the spam filter on.
best,
Jasper
