What were the marks on the schiavona with the plain pommel? Feel free to let me know if you are about to let go of other items.

That’s what I thought. I like it! The other two are nice too.

This one got away years ago and besides the high quality gold inlay it had a nice Toledo blade to.

They all tickle my fancy ulfberth, especially the rapier and the middle schiavona!

Oh my, I sure wish I was around when you let go of it! Not only the blade, but the inlaid hilt is gorgeous. I like inlay work so much better than the damascene or overlay work because the designs are more precise and durable.

Hi Philip, I never owned the gold inlay rapier, it really got away at auction.
