TOLSGO BLADES.

Those of Modern Make Not Compar-
able with the Ancient Ones.
Toledo blades are still made in the
government weapon factory, but those
OF modern production do not compare
with the ancient work. 1t seems TO be
a lost art. The genuine Toledo blades,
made by the Moors, were so elastic and
tough that they could be curled up like
a watch spring. You can see them in
the armory at Madrid, but only ordi-
nary swords and bayonets for the
army are made there today. The secret
seems to have been forgotten. The
steel came from England. II is the
same as is used for ordinary purposes,
and. as In Japan, where the art reach
ed an equal degree of superiority, the
difference in the product lay in the
skill OF the armorer and the process he
used.
In the secondhand shops Of Toledo
and of the bric brac dealers you can
buy old swords for reasonable prices
but genuine ones, made before the six
teenth century, when the best were
produced and the art began TO decline,
are very rare and Hre promptly pick.
ed up by connoisseurs whenever they
are offered. The names OF the old max
ers are as well known as those Of the
painters of great pictures, and a sword
made by Nicholas or Dune or Don Isio
or Correnties in the fourteenth and fif.
teenth centuries is worth several times
its weight in gold.
Each armorer Of Toledo In ancient
times, az in Japan, had his cipher,
which is TO he found on his blades, and
there was as much rivalry among them
as there is today among the opera sing
| ers Julian del Rel, the most famous
| of the Moorish swordmakers, always
cut the figure of dog on the blades
of his swords near the hllt, and Nor
| rillo, who was also famous, used a
wolf for his coat of arms. The sword
makers of Toledo had a guild for mu-
| tual protection, but they worked sepa-
rately. Each had his own secrets for
refining and tcmpering steel, which he
concealed from his rivals, but trans
mitted to his children, who Inherited
