My "new" cup hilt sword for your kind comments

[mariusgmioc]

Hello Fernando and thank you for posting this fascinating sword.

In my novice oppinion the blade is much older than the hilt. I believe the blade may be 16th century while the hilt is early 18th century (or late 17th century at best).

So what do you think about that?

PS: The fact the hilt is easily dismountable points to the fact it is a later addition.
