EXTREMELY RARE BROADSWORD C.1600 MADE FOR A CHILD. 22 1/2” total length with 18 1/4” thick medially ridged tapering blade. Cruciform hilt with spatulate quillon terminals and flattened pommel matching. Original dark horn grip with lightly incised decoration overwear from use. Heavy aging throughout. Blade and hilt with age rust growth. The grip with sound with a few wormholes. Condition suggestive of being lost for four centuries, perhaps hidden in the timbers of a castle or manor house. Difficult to say as we have not encountered a single comparable example in any condition. Swords made for the children of nobles and military officers for early indoctrination are well known, however, we know of no other such broadsword dating to the period of armor use!

SPANISH DUELING RAPIER, EARLY 18th CENTURY. 31 1/2” flattened diamond section blade, deeply fullered at the forte and with maker's name, at the root, partially obscured by the guard. Gilt brass hilt with deep thickened edge cup, cross guard and diamond section knuckle bow. Wire wrapped grip. See European Weapons and Armour, Oakeshott, Pl.21 example B for a comparable example with a double fullered blade, identified as Spanish C.1710. The hilt with considerable remnants of its original fire gilt gold. Evidence of use includes four strikes to the left side of the cup with results as imaged. The strikes are aligned indicative of defense against disciplined attacks as expected from a well trained opponent. That damage is clearly from blood dueling and attests to the violent history of this weapon.
