Styrian basket hilted sword, 16 century second half, with i presume italian blade marked with pi mark, very nice condition, and nice example, acquired from old collection.

Styrian dusaage or in Croatian Tesak, second half of 16 century, with Italyan blade of high quality, one side marked Genova with stars, other side moon with two square looking dots and two stars, those kind of stars i allready encountered on Italyan blades from 16 century.
Very good condition, and realy good battle blade, still sharp as razor.

I love those mulberry pommels on Styrian baskethilts. Sometimes the decorations are on the guard as well.
