MINT CONDITION DECORATED BILBAO SWORD WITH ORIGINAL LINING WITH THE COAT OF ARMS OF PORTUGAL:. 1295) MINT CONDITION DECORATED BILBAO SWORD WITH ORIGINAL LINING WITH THE COAT OF ARMS OF PORTUGAL: The bilbao is a highly effective Spanish slash-and-thrust sword. It was used primarily in the 1700s. Construction: The hilt is etched en suite; it&#acute; constructed of two half-shell guards and a knuckle guard.

The blade is a flattened hexagonal-shaped double-edged blade tapering to a sharp tip. The coat of arms of Portugal is the main heraldic insignia at the base of the half shell, it was used by the Portuguese Kingdom since the Middle Ages.

EXCEPTIONAL, ELEGANT, AND IMPORTANT SILVER-ENCRUSTED GERMAN SWEPT HILT RAPIER, CIRCA 1590. Description:Â Under the Norman typology, this would be a Hilt 75 with a type 34 pommel, flat and slightly widening to the tip rectangular quillons, a short rectangular ricasso with a short fuller approximately a fourth the length of the blade, the remaining blade with a double-edged blade of flattened hexagonal sections tapering to a point,Â the hilt decorated en suite with encrustedÂ silver on a russet background, flowing designs of fruit, foliage, and masks, showing no repairs. , ReplacedÂ grip but original wood core, Turk&#acute;s heads. Approximate dimensions:Â LengthÂ 48 inches, bladeÂ lengthÂ 41 inches,Â guard lengthÂ 8.75 inches. Comparable:Â This typology is illustrated in the 1589 engraving by Hendrick Goltzius of Jacques de la Faille. The second is a painting by Pietro Damini titled &156;Silvestro Valier Receiving the Keys To Padua,&157; presumably painted in 1619, the year of the event. Comparables: A similar example can be found in: “The Musee de l Armee in Paris (Cat no. J192). “The Wallace Collection (Cat no. A606 and A565). -The Earliest Illustration of This Sword Type Is in an equestrian portrait by Rubens circa 1610, almost certainly of Archduke Albrecht, currently housed at Windsor Castle #282. Publication:Â The Collectors Course On Medieval Arms and Armor,2021, Garcia, page 259. Provenance: -Andrew Garcia -From a very well-known private world-class collector and dealer who was thinningÂ his collection at age 82. -Joe Kindig Jr. (1898-1971) Discussion:Â Â In a day and age lacking appropriate policing, the private citizen was forced to protect himself from society&#acute; criminal dregs. The weapon of choice was the rapier from the middle of the 16th to the end of the 17th century. The rapier is a simple but highly effective sword against the non-armored. The rapier was primarily a thrusting weapon that could inflict serious injury to an adversary&#acute; vital organs with minimal effort. It was also an exceptional slashing and cutting weapon; however, the slash was not as lethal as the thrust. The slash was used more as a feint to set up a finishing thrust. The slash was also a dire warning to a would-be assailant of the horrors to quickly follow if he chose not to acquiesce. The rapier is almost undeniably of Spanish origin and is probably Spain&#acute; most significant contribution to the Renaissance arms race. A highly expensive, ornate rapier was the equivalent of a person in our day and age making a fashion or opulence statement by wearing very expensive jewelry, such as a Rolex or Audemars Piguet watch. Because fencing is more of a thrusting art, it became commonplace throughout Europe to have as long a blade as possible to obtain an advantage. This extravagance in length reached the point that municipalities passed statutes regarding the allowable lengths of blades. Those in violation had the misfortune of having their rapier&#acute; blades cropped at the tip at the city gate to comply. One example of these statues is from an English Royal Proclamation on March 17, 1557. The French adopted the phrase &#acute;Ã

ELEGANT CHISELED AND EMBOSSED DUTCH CAVALRY SWORD CIRCA 1650. Description: Constructed with a broad engraved blade, chiseled hilt depicting mounted cavalry battle scenes, and superb guard finials in the form of figures. Period correct grips with Turk’s heads. Total length: 40 1/2″. Discussion: The shorter sword was the evolution of the longer and heavier rapier of the Renaissance. It was said to have been introduced in the second quarter of the 1600s and evolved over the next 100-plus years. Conclusion: Nothing says chivalry like a sword. In my opinion, chiseling is the most impressive decoration on arms and armor. The problem is swords that are chiseled are very expensive and seldom are found in the collectors market. Even though this sword may be slightly later than the period many collectors collect, it’s still an excellent addition to any collection, and you get a lot of value for your money.

RARE MASSIVE SWISS BASILARD SWORD CIRCA 1450 WITH ORIGINAL GRIPS:. Description:Â Constructed with a stout flattened lozenge section blade with two short fullers side by side, edges on both sides tapering to a point, and holes for rivets on a metal T-shaped hilt with its original wooden grip.Â Condition:Â Very good.Â Â Length: 35 inches. Discussion:Â Basilard is a French or Latin term identifying a dagger with a hilt shaped like a capital I (or,a capital T, see page 318 in my book) developed during the 1300s. Basilards can be found in contemporary literature, books, poems, paintings, effigies, brasses, and other period representations. After circa 1350, the basilard became a favorite of civilians and peasants in England. The basilard was probably the most used dagger circa 1350 in Western and Central Europe. The basilard was believed to have originated in South Germany or North Italy in the late 1200s; this appears in many older publications. However, a discovery at the Datini archives in Prato, Italy, dated 1375 by Claude Blair of the Victorian and Albert Museum, indicates the dagger&#acute;s origin is Basel, Switzerland, hence the name Basilard. Basilards varied in length from 12-inch daggers to swords over 36 inches. The masses used the basilard, from peasants to the knightly class. The basilard was part of mainstream Medieval Europe. A few basilards have survived that were made for the megawealthy. Basilard sheaths are rare. Their sheaths consisted of a metal throat, chape, and middle band. Because leather is organic, few leather sheaths have survived. The sheath was worn in various ways: 1) On the right side, hanging from the belt, sword belt, or sword hanger. 2) Hanging in the front from the sword belt. 3) Seldom carried on the lower back. The basilard finally evolved into the Swiss (Holbein) dagger in the late 1490s. Some refer to the original variant as the Swiss basilard (see page 320 in my book). Comparables:Â A.) The Royal Collection, England, item #IX 3482. B.)Â Schweizerisches Landesmuseum , taf.3 #7. Provenance: From the collection of Gottlob Herbert Bidermann Stuttgart/Aach Germany. Herr Bidermann was one of Europe&#acute;s largest collectors of Arms and Armor. He wrote several books on the subject of Medieval and Renaissance Arms and Armor and was appointed court expert on Medieval/ Renaissance Arms and Armor by the German Government (Ã–ffentlich bestellter und vereidigter Sachverständiger für Historische Waffen). Conclusion:Â Although not the most elegant of Medieval swords certainly one of the rarest and highly prized by collectors. It is priced to sell for under $4K, a lot less than you expect!!!*
