Default Edged arms in Varazdin castle

Varazdin castle is situated in Varazdin county North of Zagreb in Croatia near the Hungarian border. The castle was surrounded by massive earthen ramparts with double water moats. Due to its strategic location it was regarded as the key/gateway to Styria in Austria. There’s a granary on the castle grounds which served as the armoury for Slavonia. The castle museum also houses a modest arms collection.

I wonder if our member gp could verify the above Google translation from the museum description pictured below? The Google translation looks a little shaky to me, but should be important in identifying an actual pandur sword in what was once their original habitat.
