Oakeshott Collection
Catalogue Number: OC 009
A mid 15th Century example of a Type XVIIIa blade with distinct mid rib and squared shoulders. The pommel is of a unique form: a type of wheel pommel with no similar surviving example as yet identified. This piece is thought to be of Italian make, and is said to have come from a tomb opened in the late 19th C, possibly in France. It was accompanied by a small rondel dagger and both are in very good condition.

@oakeshott Excellent!
I am planning on posting a few more options, experimenting with several setups, so keep an eye out for them and let me know what you think
@youval Thank you for the feedback! I agree, for this particular piece, the lighting is not ideal, and is rather tricky to get just right, due to the heavy and dark patina on the blade. I will continue to experiment, and may end up tailoring the background to the specific piece as best as I can.
Hi Oakeshotteers,
I greatly appreciate this initiative!
Just received an email about the visual change, with an invitation to give feedback.
I must say I prefer the old style, as now the change in contrast between object and background makes the object less visible. The unlighted side is completely obscure untill I manually move the light, which is a bit inconvenient.
The old display was calm and subtle, and perfect for studying the treasures inch by inch. :)
If you want to change the background, how about a neutral grey?
Cheers,
Youval
