A VERY NICE ONE CONGRADULATIONS GOOD WORKMANSHIP THRUOUT.
I HAVE SEEN THESE REFERRED TO AS FIVE RING AFTER THE FIVE SILVER RINGS ON THE SCABBARD. YOURS ALSO HAS AN ADDITIONAL TWO FOR SECURING IT SO I GUESS IF THEY ARE COUNTED IT IS PERHAPS A 7 RING ONE.
SOME HAVE LESS RINGS AND SOME MORE BUT FIVE IS USUALLY THE HIGHEST NUMBER TO MY KNOWLEGE. (WHICH UNFORTUNATELY IS VERY SMALL IN THIS FIELD
)
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THERE IS ANY SIGNIFICENCE TO THE NUMBER OF THESE RINGS ON THESE DAGGERS.??
