I have an illustrated article on form and symbolism of scimitars, sabers and broadswords in Renaissance painting with a lot of good info on this subject.
If anyone is interested I'll post it lmk |

Just saw this Ward....that would be great to see some detail on this fascinating term, and I think learning more on these weapons as they appear in art would be great. We have seen a lot of such detail shared here with focus on the firearms, especially the material posted by Matchlock (Michael), and to add this dimension is a wonderful idea. Thanks very much Ward, All the best, Jim |

Miguel, I suggest you to pay a virtual visit to the Museo de la Fundación Lázaro Galdiano itself. It has it´s pieces online. I have already posted the link in an older thread, but there it is:
http://www.flg.es/museo/museo.htm It could be a little tricky to search, but there are many authentic historical pieces there. Regards Gonzalo |

Hi Miguel,
Pretty good job working on the translations, as if I am any authority ..I dont speak or read it either, but can sometimes cobble a general overview. Not sure about the pidgeon house thing All I know is in the 17th century, Palomares put together some boxed panels of illustrations of makers marks, then numerically labeled them. On the Conquistador book...the Osprey titles are great....work excellent for me with limited library space...and I just ordered 'The Conquistadors' by David Nicolle (also an Osprey title)...I just like Nicolle's work (my opinion, easy on the critical reviews everybody .We've really got a pretty good discussion going here, and I spent most of the day yesterday looking everywhere for info on Tizona and Colada, and think I'll put that on a different thread to see if we can get deeper into these two swords by that reference in the thread title. All the best, Jim |
