Hand made sword, wondering about origin

Ken Maddock · 3rd August 2015, 09:04 PM

Hi
I can see the Philippine influence in the link alright.
Spanish Armada was 1588, so I guess that rules out direct Spanish link

I am going to send images to the 1798 museum and see if they can shed any light on hand made swords from that period

I may never find out though and yes Rick I wish we could link it to the famous irish pirate

Would anyone hazard a guess on age of the sword

Your time spent commenting is much appreciated

Regards
Ken
