Lot 65:
Impressive 16th -17th C. Italian Baron FALCHION Hunting Sword of Massive Proportions. Massive example of the early Italian type, most likely to have been worn on the hunt parties by an Aristocrat during the 16th-17th century era, wearing an awesome and most powerful multi fullered clip point blade of exceptional quality, exhibiting good original steel color with nice rich patina and fine pitting evenly distributed throughout. With its heavy bronze furniture having chiseled and engraved decorations, topped with a wonderful and very distinctive lion’s head pommel, beefy red wood grip most likely refinished over the years. Solid and overall intact on this very attractive and rare weapon.Overall length: 32". Blade length: 24"
