This sword belongs to a descendant of a Dutch noble family. In my knowledge (which is elementary) this is a smallsword but i cannot tell if it is an antique or a replica or anything else to be honest! Every information-opinion-insight is most welcome!
I 've read (found only one source) that this "star" on the blade is a common feature on dutch smallswords created until ca1750. Can anyone confirm (or reject) this?
It's definitely a smallsword, but I don't know anything about smallswords, or Dutch makers of them. "Absence of evidence is not necessarily the evedence of Absence." Ewart Oakeshotte.
