Neat sword was passed down to me, can anyone give me some info about it?

[CarlKillerMiller]

Full length
Handguard
Hilt
Base of the blade


All I really know about it is: This is a fencing sword, and it appears to have been lightly used. i don't know where my grandpa got it, but I'd like to see if anyone can shed some light on this.


Thanks!

There are too many pixels to tell, maybe get it down to like three or four pixels please.

I think I saw something like that at the flea market for 40$.

With that sword you can summon an army more deadly than any in Middle Earth.

Heh, I'm sorry, ut I can't find my camera's cable.

These were taken with a rather crappy webcam.

Heh..I'm on dialup, and the pics are great. 😛

My sister says it's an ornamental foil...she thinks. She just said (as she walked out) that it looks like the French version of the Italian foil.. 😕

looks to be a fencing foil. prolly a beginner one cause it doesn't have a pistol grip on it. pretty cool engraving on the handguard though. dunno, can't tell too well wtih the pics. if you live near a big city, take it to a fencing shop, there's bound to be one.

Sounds about right; hard to tell more without a better look. I've got one around here that looks almost exactly like it that I'd picked up for $2.50 at a garage sale. I wouldn't fence with it, though.

it was bought at the Disney Pirates of the Carribean ride in 1972

Not /all/ fencers use pistol grips. 🙂

Spanish fencing foil forged in Toledo Spain by Tony Swatton out of Damascus steel.

I could tell you more with bigger pics. 😛

i would think even the crappiest webcam could do 320x240, and probably even 640x480 (I've got one I bought for $10 that will)
It's too hard to really make out any details.
