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.

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.
