Stilettos

Interesting "Gunner's" stiletto just finished on auction (for more than I was willing to spend).

Interesting crossguard like the breeches of a cannon.

Hope one of our members got it...

Do you really think this is period stuff, Wayne ?

...and why not? Always willing to learn.

... That would be, in context, a different subject

The crossguard and the blade are probably original but the hilt seems to have the same problem as the one in the thread of "18th august, 19th C. Stiletto". The transition between the crossguard and the hilt is IMHO certainly not the way it should be.

Udo, do you really think the guard is a XVII century part ?

More 18c cannon breeches, but still antique enough. I was thinking of the handle example in the other thread when I posted this one "Pour encourager les autres" and wondering if the readers here also read the other thread.

I must admit I was stirring the pot a bit.
