Thanks very much guys!! Norman that was a great thread, and love those plates (either Aries or Petard) both valuable and hard to find, afford, volumes.
Midelburgo, great examples,
It seems this type of blade with this section were around from early in 18th c. so we know they found notable use,
'but the pressing question is WHY MONTMORENCY?
The name of the design.
