			Hi, if you turn the pictures upside down it seem to be a vase/flower pot with three flower in it. There is a simmilar marking in "Wallace Collection Catalogue" Number A 681. There it is a small sword from Solingen about 1640. It is also told, that the flower pot mark also exists on a rapier in the Metropolitan Museum and on a sword in musee lármee Paris. all the best Dirk |

			And that date perfectly matches what Jasper, Jim McD. and others were saying was the period of the sword based on the design. Excellent catch, Dirk! Andi, you are a lucky gent to own this hanger!!!
