European Hunting sword- asian style...

Hello Jim,

Really thank's a lot for these informations about Caissignard in Nantes and ritual/magic signification.
Now I'm quite sure it's a french hunting sword/dagger.

Kind regards

Hi there

this is a German "Jagdplaute" from the 1st half of the 18th century. The guard is typical for this type of sword and the decorated hilt is also not unusual. Here is another example

Here some further examples from the second,third and last quarter of the 18th.century from Germany.I have taken them from the great book of Herbert Westphal , " Hirschfänger ,Zur historischen Entwicklung jagdlicher Seitenwaffen "
Mr. Westphal mentioned,that the brown marbled hilts were a specialized Solingen work.So they have produced these kind of hilts over a long time.It seems that they etched and painted the asiatic looking decorations.
