ENRIQE COL ESPADEIRO

António Abreu · 4th February 2015, 07:52 PM

From my family I had received a sword with the following:
"ENRIQE COL ESPADEIRO" // " DEL REY EM ALEMANHA"

In internet I came across the site of "Anais do Museu Histórico Nacional" (Brasil)
tomo X pag 45 - where it is identified "M. Enrique Col." as "M. Henrich, from Colonia" sec XVII.

I wonder if some one can provide some more informations on that sword.

Welcome to the forum, Antonio

.
What type of sword are you talking about ... a cup hilt (copos de tigela) ?
Before commenting on the sword maker's name, can you post some pictures ? That is essential, for a reasonable analysis.
By the way, are you Brazilian or Portuguese ?
