I’m looking for some information and I was hoping that you might be able
to help me out. I recently purchased, what appears to be, a very old
wall display of miniature swords. The hand-typed documentation that
came with it indicates that it was made in Toledo, Spain. I am trying to find out
more about this item and have been unsuccessful in finding any
information searching the internet and was hoping you could point me in
the right direction.

The item is a hand carved shield with 7 miniature swords and two
Alabardes arranged in a circular pattern. The carved wood shield is the
crest of Toledo from the time when Toledo was the capital of Spain. The
swords are from various time periods and are miniature replicas of
various monarchs. Also, in the center of the shield is a miniature
armor breast plate. From the look of the carving and wood, I think the
item may be rather old.

Do you know where I may be able to find any more information on this
type of item?

Any help you could provide very appreciated.

Thank You
Drew Hodgins
