It's a page from "Gross Chirurgei oder volkommene Wundartznei" by Walther Hermann Ryff, edition of 1559.
One more page from the same book.
Le's see what can I do with this.

Ever so slowly the evidence mounts up that these things are the real-deal. I'd assumed when I got them that they were Victorian-era copies, part of late 1800's fad for copies of old arms and armor. I'm starting to think they really aren't. It does appear that they will take a usable edge.
If they were originally made with tortoise shell scales, that explains why they've got those crappy wooden ones -- the originals were eaten long ago.
I'll have a look at it too. I've been a bit preoccupied, but I have some free time and this would be a good way to get my mind off those other things.Quote:
