The text says Negroli's name is shown on the steel grip of a shield considered one of the very finest shields ever forged by an armourer. The text says the swords are believed to be the work of the same hands, with their middle surfaces and ricassi inlaid with gold. The text says the helmet, attributed in the old catalogues to Boabdil, is forged in one piece and could be strengthened by a complete set of re-inforcing pieces for tilt and tournament.
