Very Good 17th C. Continental HUNTING SWORD Horn Hilt

Very good nobleman 17th century continental hunting sword with a straight double edged blade etched in partial "1673" script, veiled in greyish patina. The ornate gilded brass hilt alive with relief scenes of hunter and wild beasts, curls into a knuckle bow terminating in an animal head. Spiraling grooved horn grip clings with seasoned warmth, the rain guard depicting a goose hunting tableau anchoring the era's aristocratic vigor. Solid and intact, baroque era craftsmanship at its finest. Full length 27 inches, blade length 21.5 inches.
