Yes it makes me fearful for the objects in the museums. That they are not fully appreciated by those in whose care they have been entrusted. The objects form part of our historical heritage.

Yes Europe is truly amazing. The armoury in Graz is well worth visiting but it was smaller than I thought and you need only half a day to see it. Also a bit annoying that Austria is becoming quite...

The langets look a bit funny. The third photo show faint traces of sickle and grapes marks associated with Genoa. This style of sabre is more 16thC.

Nice sword! I believe it’s a customised dress sword for an Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer. The pommel cap has the owner’s monogram and the basket features S:t George and the dragon. Other baskets...
