Italian sword Jacopo, first half of the 17th century

The hand is protected at the straight cross guard by S-shaped guards and at the ricasso, which the fighter encloses with his fingers (the index finger lies over the parry), the hand is protected by further guard rings, which also form the overall structure of the basket.
