Rapier or Riding Sword?

[iskender]

first :townseal of Cornol in the juramountains in switzerland where i have my holiday home. then a rapier out of my collection most likely johannes wundes the elder. stamped with a Ritterhelm, his name written wrong like on most of his blades his name is a mess.in these times maybe a priest or a lawyer etc.where able to write .So in this case IOHANNIS means JOHANNES . his surname Wundes see for yourself! the blade of him in the MET. NEW YORK is also original ! salamaleikum iskender

Hi Guys

I managed to flip the image of the mark Jim provided and place it in a table next to mine. Now they are both facing the same way they certainly appear to have much in common.

Cheers Cathey and Rex

Hello Cathey

I agree that's a very similar mark, your sword rapier, reitschwert or haudegen is just in better condition and the stamps are still sharp.
