Hi Jean Luc,
yes true! the blade is belonging to a so-called short sword, probably German / Swiss. probably not shortened because the shoulders are rounded, @ this type quillons often curve in the plan of the blade there for the bladeshoulder are of a rounded shape. see picture of a sword from my collection of type XXII this sword is very light in hand and swift, a perfect tool for close combat. The blade of post #1 is from around 1490 and the guard and grip are 135- years later. Very nice to see how high-quality blades were reused and did get a second life. ps. jean-Luc These are not double fuller blades but have a decoration line on each side of the single fuller, but there are plenty examples of oakeshott XXII with multiple fullers attached:Albrecht Dürer: The Betrayal of Christ. best, Jasper Last edited by cornelistromp; 22nd December 2015 at 08:32 PM. |
