Zweihander or two handed sword-help needed

[fernando]

How is it in context, the appearing of a Hispano-Arabe "Jineta" in the last picture ?

I do not think it is a Jineta, Fernando, despite some similarities. It is a silver mounted dagger from Kotor, referred to as Icicle. There are swords in Bosnia and Montenegro with some features which may have been taken/inspired from earlier Muslim swords from other parts of the Mediterranean, but the links are beyond my knowledge, and most certainly outside the scope of a thread titled Zweihander.
