European Riding "Backsword", Early 17th C.
European (possibly English) riding backsword, circa. early 17th century. The 34.5" straight single-edge blade with double thin fullers that terminate toward the end of the blade. The blade is signed within the fullers "CLEMENS * BRACH" twice on the left and "ME FECIT SOLINGEN" twice on the right. The iron hilt/guard is constructed of recurved quillons terminating in globular ends, a forward open ring with globular mid-section en-suite with the knuckle bow that terminates at the globular pommel but does not connect or attach to it. The spiral wood grip is intact, retaining the twisted and braided wire wrap with Turk's head ferrules. Backsword is a type of sword characterized by having a single-edged blade and a hilt with a single-handed grip. It is so called because the triangular cross section gives a flat back edge opposite the cutting edge. The overall length is 40.5" Size: 40 3/4" L, blade 34 1/2"
Condition: Overall the sword is in good condition. All iron surfaces exhibit salt & pepper surface rust pitting (some areas worse than others).
