This is a nice 18th century smallsword with what looks a french military hilt. I almost got this bought found out the last portion of the blade was too corroded for my liking. (It's since been sold.) But it has a lovely hilt. |

Morgan,
Compare the ornaments on the 1705 English silver hilt with those on this 1686 French sword. Mine is very similar but very crude: many casting flaws. http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/belle/image...chape.html http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/belle/treasures.html |
