Venetian Schiavona of the late 17th Century. A good representative example of a Venetian Schiavona dating to the late 17th century. The hilt is a typical representation of the distinctive design of the Schiavona guard. The hilt consists of the usual complex trellis of delicately formed flattened bars with rounded and well finished edges, more numerous on the outside of the guard to protect the outside of the hand of a right handed user. The guard has a bold angled rear quillon of square section with a knopped finial. A thumb loop is present on the inside of the guard attached to the cross guard and one of the lower loop guards. The knuckle bow has an outwardly curled finial. The solid flattened ovoid pommel has a distended flared neck beneath and an integral button on top. The pommel is engraved with foliate designs at the front. The baluster shaped rounded rectangular section grip has the imprint of the now absent original twisted wire binding and is mounted with grooved brass ferrules top and bottom. The fine quality earlier double edged blade is of tapering hollow ground diamond cross section. It has a short ricasso and was probably originally made for an arming sword in the later medieval period. The sword is in good original uncleaned condition without repairs or damage other than wear. The blade is 34.75 inches long (88 cm) and the overall length of the sword is 40.25 inches (just over 102 cm).
