AUCTION 50: ANTIQUE MILITARIA, FALL 2024
Лот 468:
A lot of two items. The first item is a clamshell guard which would have been part of a smallsword originally. The guard is chased in relief with scenes of battle throughout, possibly depicting events of the Great Turkish War that occurred from 1683-1699. The second item is an iron openwork lockplate for a gun, probably a hunting gun of some sort as there are depictions of hounds amongst foliate motifs. At the right of the piece is a face with an angered expression.
Europe, 17th/18th century.
Longest: 7 7/8 in., (20 cm.)
Condition: Very good overall, with expected signs of age and use.
