NORTH EUROPEAN BROADSWORD C.1620

|
Item Number: 10-315 GC.A.041
This fine sword comes from a group which has been misidentified since the 19th century when collectors called them Sinclair hilt swords in an attempt to link them to the Scottish mercenary Colonel George Sinclair. In fact, it is a broadsword of heavy rapier type with blade of thick diamond section, tapering uniformly through its length which is equally suitable for slashing and thrusting. Its recurved cross guard and large ring guard surrounding a pierced plate and thumb ring opposite. It is rightly placed with the large military swords which were used by mounted troops in the early years of the Thirty Years War.
Blade length: 34"

This elegant sword with its slightly oval ring guard and oval inner guard dates to the second quarter of the 17th century. It would have been used by a cavalryman in armor and is made to be effective against armor.
|
This sword’s blade derives directly from the cinquenda popular in the 15th century.
