Renaissance Style Sidesword with Scabbard
Sold for: $35
Description
43.5 inches long. A contemporary reproduction of a 16th to 17th-century European sidesword, also known as a spada da lato. The weapon features a straight steel blade characterized by three deep fullers that originate at the ricasso and extend approximately one-third of the blade’s length. The polished steel hilt is designed with a complex guard comprising swept quillons and two large symmetrical finger rings for hand protection. The grip is tightly wrapped in black cord, terminating in a flattened wheel-shaped pommel with a visible central rivet. The sword is accompanied by a black leather scabbard featuring white contrast stitching and a laced-front frog designed for belt suspension. The steel components exhibit a uniform polished finish without visible maker marks or stamps.
