I've been searching for my perfect schiavona and while this ticks all the boxes, except for museum quality, it has another feature that marks it as exceptional:
It would appear that there is absolutely no fixed rule regarding the hole, its position and/or its use. fascinating stuff! |

the use of the hole is to attach the guard , i would not buy a shiavona with an exact blade as in your picture because that is a 19th c blade.
