English Backsword
The backsword has a hilt of simple construction with straight,
usually counter-curved quillons, knuckle-bow and ring-guard on one
or on both sides of the cross. Althought this particular sword is
without any ring-guard at all. This sword has a heavy spherical
pommel, this is one of the charactertic features of late
16th or early 17th century swords made in
England. This particular construction was not confined to
backswords but will be found on rapiers and riding swords as
well.
