Below are the images of the major military (and related)
swords - and some civilian swords - commonly found in the
Latin America Countries (including Mexico). I hope this page
is of service to you. I offer advice on request; however, initially, the best advice I can offer to the novice collector is, "READ BOOKS." There are a number of wonderful books available and below I have listed some of my favorites; I also occasionally have some of these titles for sale. One cannot fully appreciate South American swords without knowing their origins; therefore it becomes necessary to study European swords (especially German). Resultantly, some of these books are dedicated to European arms, while others are mixed with European and American arms. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! |
