Hi Crispus.
Ok, I ordered the book at Munich state library, will get it mid next week and check if I can find anything there (as I said I only have the B part of it as a copy so cannot look it up right away unfortunately). I'll get back to you then.
Quote:My questions over these pieces remain. If nos. 13 - 15 are for Mainz type swords, they seem far too small for any of tem to be an entire guard so I wonder if they could in fact be elements of a handle such as the Dorchester handle. I would also like to know if the identification of nos. 22 - 24 as cavalry swords is in any way verified, or whether it is either an assumption based on sculpture or an outdated idea whose name has stuck.
