Jim that rapier is similar in style and so is the head.
Here is an Italian or south German rapier around 1600 that has a makers mark head that is not crowned, this one looks lik a roman Emperors head or could it be a moors head to ?
In the fuller IN TE DOMINE SPERAVI

Salaams Ulfberth ... If I may quote #13 above "Italian heraldry, however, usually depicts the Moor wearing a white band around his head instead of a crown, indicating a slave who has been freed; whereas in German heraldry the Moor is shown wearing a crown". I am however right out of my depth on this subject and invite Forum support !!

Jim, Very interesting on the IAHANNI Wundes which I will have to look at on your blade marks forum site...!

Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
