we crossed posts Valjhun,
thats it! I think thats the mark on your sword cartouche.
It really is amazing how much can be discovered in the markings on coins when examining markings on weapons. We have discussed this a number of times, and I can think of instances when I have used coins to compare cyphers, crowns and even armoury markings (on one Afghan sword).
Nicely done, and thank you for posting that !!!
All the best,
Jim
