Of course Jim, the origin or the place were a certain style or fashion emerged would in time be further dispersed to other countries.
The sword makers of the period must have inspired and influenced each other as Toledo inspired Solingen etc etc Kind regards Ulfberth |

Thank you everyone for all of the information!
Fernando, I looked closely and could not find any smith marks that are exposed. It did remind me though, that I forgot to take photos of the "anchors" located just forward of the fullers. I know these are common but could someone remind us if they have a certain significance or if just simply decoration? |

Hi,
unfortunately the anchor is not a mark but was used by the blade smith as an orientation point to indicate the end of the fuller, and of course also has a decorative function.Sometimes the shape gives some more information about the origin, in this case the double anchormark looks a spltted cross which could imply an Italian origin.however this is purely speculation. best, Jasper Last edited by cornelistromp; 22nd January 2016 at 07:29 AM. |
