Hi Jasper,

I found this watercolored woodcut of late-15th c. date in the famous Agricola reprint of 1599.

Best,
Michael

Hi Michael,

thank you, very nice
it of a different type and a bit later than the one under discussion, but you can see some interesting details like the parry plate.
a parry plate with crescent shaped recess and serrated edge came around 1500.

best,
jasper

an extraordinarily beautiful ballock dagger with spiral grip and Multi-section blade , a waterfind in Holland.
since the blade is single edged it could go on as a knife and so avoid the city prohibition orders against carrying a dagger within the citywalls !

Hello,
so this is my example but I am worried about the item.
The guard semm to be a galvano or something like this and the whole grip seem to be restored.
The blade may have a markers mark like an arrow an could be from 1500 but also this is not sure.
