Forte-épée à garde en panier, Allemagne du... - Lot 220 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
Forte-épée à garde en panier, Allemagne du Nord vers 1590- 1600. A North German basket-hilted cavalry backsword, tesack circa 1590-1600. With straight blade double-edged towards the point, cut with narrow fullers on both sides (now worn extremely shallow) and the inner side struck with a small mark and with running wolf mark inlaid in brass, russet-iron hilt comprising long slender straight quillons with the ends turned up and down respectively and with "mulberry" terminals, symmetrical basket-guard formed of faceted slender bars above a flat double base-plate, thumb-ring, mushroom-shaped "mulberry" pommel cut with an expanded flowerhead over the top, and the grip retaining its original fish-skin binding. L. overall: 108 cm - L. blade: 94.2 cm - W.: 25 cm. Cavalry swords with hilts of this type are predominantly found in historical armouries and portraiture in North Germany and Scandinavia, although they have conversely also been attributed to Southern Germany and even to Italy. For a detailed survey of the type see NORMAN, A.V.B., The Rapier and Small-Sword, 1460-1820, London, 1980, p.149, hilt 76. Also see SEITZ, H., Blankwaffen, 1965, vol. I, pp. 321-5, figs. 231,238 and 241.
