I always wondered if there is any specific reason for hunting swords to have defensive elements (guards) on them with obviously more function than preventing a slipping of the hand towards the blade. Do you know something in this direction? I also have a hunting sword or hanger in my collection which seems to be later (late 18th century ?). Feel free to comment on this because I´m unable to determine its age and origin! Attached Images
