Fine 17th C. English Mortuary Sword

Vestigial scrolling quillon and chiseled ovoid pommel. The original wood grip with spiraled carving is missing wrap. Size 37 1/2" L, blade 30 3/4" L
The mortuary swords were made to depict the face or death mask of the executed King Charles I in 1649. The term was extended to refer to an entire type of Civil Ware era broadswords. Swords of this form were Oliver Cromwell's weapon of choice.
