Rather than exact workshop, I am asking if this blade profile looks in the Spanish style. Does the hilt look English with its grip and pommel or French in its donkey's hoof guard? I would think it is an older blade and newer hilt, I assume in its working life. I have not seen dimensions of the sword and blade so I have been looking and wondering is it shortened? How does its tip move? By its look I would guess it parries well, but is the tip slow? The pommel is big enough that it could possibly balance the blade.
& Fernando I think you are being overly modest.
Rogerfox welcome. It will be nice to have a mail specialist to answer question at the forum.
