'Eyelash' or 'Toothed Bow' Decorative Marks on a ca. 1575 Styrian Rapier
For deeper discussions of these marks, please confer

BTW, we realize that the term eyelash is not anatominally correct as the lashes on these bows are on the wrong side.  
'Sawtooth waveform' might be more fitting ...
Best wishes,
Michael
