Information

Francia o Italia
length 91,4 cm.
Straight blade of hexagonal section, hollow at the forte where there are remains of the inscription "TOMA... / DE A...A..." (perhaps Tomas De Ayala?). At the end of the fuller, remains of a cross emblem and small transversal ribs. Iron hilt with guard provided with an additional loop guard which, connected by a small loop guard to the quillon, becomes a ring inside which there is a valve pierced with petals. A second loop guard starting from the base of the guard forms a countercurved curl. The pommel, guard, block and parry quillon are all decorated with rebated or enlarged coils, like the ring nuts. The grip is worked with and iron wire binding alternating with copper wire bindings and flat twin lead. No scabbard.
