Scope note:

Light civilian swords with a moderately long blade, a small guard with one or two shells, and arms of the hilt. Developed in the early 17th century, they became a standard part of gentlemen's fashionable dress until the late 18th century, surviving into the 20th century as part of court or ceremonial dress.
