Thanks Jim,

I also thought of a pre-schiavona type of venetian sword when saw the immages. Especially the pommel talks in that favour, beeing a predecessor of the typical Schiavona cat head pommel.

The sword is not in my possesion (yet). I'll do my best to get that medieval piece in my collection. Then I'll attach more photos.

It was found underground with a metal detector in the italian region of Northern Friuli (not so far away from Venice).
