Smallsword for I D

Very nice pieces Iliad! and nicely done on the assessment Manuel!!! Thank you for the insight on these. Smallswords are usually pretty tough, as you note pretty much everybody followed the French styles, as I have understood as well.
The smallsword is a fascinating weapon, and lines up well with the discussion started on the thread on fencing foils. I hope the discussion on these and other examples will continue!

All best regards,
Jim
