A rare "schiavonesca" sword dating: 1400 - 1450 provenance: Republic of Venice - Dalmatia, Wide, double-edged blade; the first section, approximately 40 cm long, with triple fuller, the second section with a slight medial ridge, the tip shortened and almost circular. “S”-shaped quillons, the arms narrowing at the base and then with two grooves. Solid tang with two arrow marks. Large rectangular pommel with rounded face. This extremely rare schiavonesca differs slightly from those preserved in the Armoury of the Council of Ten in the Doge’s Palace in Venice and may even be one of the rare examples produced in the part of Dalmatia governed by the Republic of Venice from the beginning of the 15th century. See a "Schiavonesca" with similar blade and pommel in our auction no. 29, lot 2207.
