Hi Iagoba,
Do you know anything about the spatha on the left side of the display case ? I think it may be a 6th century Frankish spatha but I'd like to get a closer look at the hilt.
The spatha looks like it may be the same one seen in this old drawing.
The hilt looks like it's made of two rectangular pieces, a smaller one mounted atop of a larger one, IMO.
Thanks for posting these photos !
