Hi Emanuel,
I do appreciate your comment and thank you in return. Me, on the other hand, I don't now the least on ethnographic arms ... And: weapons, to many men, actually seem to have some kind of eroticism - I can't deny that for myself ... I mean they are not exactly 'sexy' but they sure they are fascinating and thrilling!   Best, Michael |

A Fine North Italian Knightly Hand-and-a-Half Sword, ca. 1500-10
This is a painting by the so called Master of Cassoni Campana, active in Florence in the early 16th century (Italian Renaissance period).
The painting is in the Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon, France. The scene depicts the Ancient Greek mythology of Theseus and the Minotaur. Enjoy |

Two finely writhen Landsknecht sword pommels in the Museum of Lucerne, Switzerland
Photographed by the author in their reserve collection.
The ring on the one on the right denotes that it was later re-used as a sliding weight, as often was the case. Michael |
