Details:A rare early Venetian sword circa 1480
The overall condition is excellent on this piece.
The sword is extremely balanced.
The hilt is comprised of a set of S shaped quillons, the pommel is large and the perfect counter weigth to give it its flexibility. The condition of the grip is excellent, this appears to be the original and has been well preserved.
The blade is a stocky 4.6cm wide with double edge, two fullers run down each side of the blade.
These extend approximately 60% of the blade, one side of the fuller is also stamped with an armourer's mark.
No looseness of wobble present.
This one of the earlier examples and the condition is quiet spectacular.
Museum quality example.
Specifications:
Overall Length 97 CM
