Because it said ANNO 1553 I was convinced it was a date, but it was a century before Hounslow were making these swords. Did someone date their blade to declare loyalty even after 100 years?
Fascinating stuff to grapple with. |
Hi Urban. Any chance of a photo of the guard decoration please? I don't think I've seen one like that on a 'Hounslow' hanger before.
