Hello,
I got this sword who must be 17th/18th century ( by the seller ) The hilt look a little like a katzbalger sword. German ?? No stamps or particular ''fantasy'' in details. The sword is 1m05 long ( 41 inches) the end of the blade is rounded the two sides of blade are razorsharp, weight 1,1 kg ( 2,4 pounds). Is it a common model ? Thank you |

I'm looking at the pictures from my phone and can't see much in the age of it but I believe this style was often used in tournaments.
Can you post clearer pictures? |

There is missing a protection for the thumb at the inner side of the hilt, a fact what is normally not to be found on real swords of the 17. or 18. century. So I think it could be an object of the stock of a theatre. A flat inner side eases wearing of such a sword during action on stage

Hello Corrado,
do you say that there should be te the round piece on both side of the hilt ? Makin a 8 ? I saw it on most katzbalger sword that's why i Found ''strange'' this one. For the theatral use, I really don't think so, the blade as I said is of good quality,really sharp and flexible too like the blade of a good old sword, Unless it would be bloody representations ! |
