Blade for identification

ulfberth · 4th August 2016, 09:34 AM

Here is another Pappenheimer (early 17th C) from the same maker with an etched cartouche with the inscription : "ME FECIT SOLINGEN WILHELM WIRSBERG" one one side and on the other side: "GLORIA VIRTUTEM SEPUITUR 1627 " here the eched crest apears on the ricasso and the blade.

A small correction to Ulfberth's reading of the blade inscription in the last post: it actually reads GLORIA VIRTUTEM SEQUITUR which makes sense - Glory attends on Valour (or Courage).

Thanks Neil,

You are right, I used the spelling from the description without checking it any further. But you made me look again and its clear the its is Q and not a P.

kind regards
