This set is from the city of Toledo. About 60 mils southeast of Madrid. A very unique old city.
Set on a hill it was once the Capital of Spain.

This is the owner and Grand pa Ed standing in the sales and display area of the sword shop.
about ten ft wide by 30 feet long. Behind the door is the shop -factory- It was a real delight to find this place and to have the owner be so kind to us.

The shop work bench about 25 feet long and just as cluttered as mine!
An Uncle (I believe) working on short sword by hand
This gentleman was the owner and very graciously let us tour the small shop for making swords in the rear of his store.
Part of the shop equipment. I thought that since Toledo was once a sword producer to the world that we would find large factories. Not so
right at closing time we found this little sword factory. Family run for years.
