Description:
The sword presents morphological typology of cross of arriaz with protection ring for the index finger. This type of cross with that primitive protection is relatively late in the European medieval , appearing at the end of the XV century, with the idea of protecting the finger, and began to be used in front of the cross for the purpose of directing better the tip of the sword .
E. Oakeshoot (maximum world authority in this theme) qualifies like type XIX in its basic typology .
The bone is not strange, its conservation would be not impossible. The 85% of the medieval swords that are conserved lack handle, are showing the naked iron
But this one could be replaced during the last 150 years.
However the conclusion of some experts at especiallized Forums after studing the piece from same pictures you have here is : that is a good victorian reproduction for which has been utilized a possibly military blade of the centuries XVIII-XIX , that has been cut and which has been worked in the central table adapting it to a typology of the century XV.
