What Type Handle is This??

Post by Paladin »

Anybody know what the terminology might be for this type handle? I know it is gold or gold filled, but what is the type design called? Or does it have a correct name??
Thanks for any help :D :D

And I can't get the photo to load in this new format. What has changed on that?

I believe they call those Toledo Scales. Don't ask me why?

I've always been told those were Toledo scales, also. Never actually researched it, but I assumed they originated in Spain ? Of course, we all know what happens, when you assume !

Guess I need to do some reading,

I think that the term for a (Busy) design such as those would be called FILLAGREED.
