Here is a photo of the whole item. I am not sure whether the blade was replaced or not, because there are signs of disassembling of the sword. It is also likely the blade slightly shortened. BR, Evgeny |

Oh Mamma Mia! (sorry but others Italian sentences I have in my mind are not as kind as this).
I have made a goo choice to ask you photos! This is an ancestral schiavona type, the blade is still large and the basket is not fully developed, is much more uncommon than later examples. In my opinion we are around 1570-80 about datation and I am 99% sure is a Belunese model, not for sure German. The blade belongs with hilt and pommel and the handle seems orginal too. Beautiful piece, a joy for my soul. Thank you for sharing Giovanni

I found this old post about Fly Markings. I showed the sword to Tony North at an Arms and Armour Society meeting and he said..."Venice".
The proto Kaskara remains an enigma. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11920 |
