I stumbled upon this website featuring a weapons collection that I shared here:
forum.sword-buyers-guide.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10702
Many fine pieces to be seen, but one is very particular:
Here's an approximate translation from Google translator:
"Degen, 2nd quarter 17th century French, officer, cavalry.
Iron vessel, a large ball knob, Vernietknauf, the decor consists of a plastic knob cut snake that winds through the entire handle area. The handle ends in the guard, the guard on both sides symmetrically designed Parierbügel, which together form a heart shape, thumb guard. The terz-and quart-facing side of round bar iron in the Parierbügeln, in the spaces at the side bars with circular buckles serve as a cut snake head ends of additional hand protection. Handle with iron wire, braided sog.Türkenbünde statements.
Double-edged blade, something rostfleckig, possibly supplemented (length 94 cm, width 3.6 cm), full root in the neck area means hollow ground, then hexagonal.
Overall length: 110 cm Weight: 1060 g"
The basket is very rare on that one...if not unique? And is it authentic? I don't know but I am wary of its authenticity for some reason...but still, its a very cool basket.
What do you all think?
