hello everybody,
hi being a newbie at this , and am in the process of making my own 14th century sword does anybody know where i can get some information or piccies on quillons of the late 14th century.

cheers

As an interesting fact, the term "quillons" isn't really contemporary to medieval swords, but likely first appeared in the late 16th century. The more accurate term is probably "cross-guard", or simply the "cross".

Anyway. You'll find tons of examples throughout this site's features, albums, and on the forum.

I'm headed out for the evening, but here are some quick links with photos:
Spotlight: Oakeshott Type XIV Swords
Spotlight: Oakeshott Type XV Swords
Spotlight: Oakeshott Type XVI Swords
