Hi!

I'm looking for help finding a photo or details of a sword I saw once, but can't find again.

It was an antique Schiavona, with cabalistic symbols in the blade. A very nice sword. Unfortunately, I can't remember the hilt type, age or the place of origin.

Is anyone able to figure out the weapon I mean with so little info?

Thanks for your time.

An old listing from Fagan via goAntiques, perhaps. I don't see it on his home site but may just be missing it.

The listings at goA sometimes don't get updated when a sale has been made.

FWIW and incidental is that Fagan is having a spring sale

Cheers

Thanks Glen!

That wasn't the exact one I was thinking of, but it is an example, and that's what I needed.

Thanks again!
