Dear sword enthusiasts,

I am pleased to be able to show you this sword. It most likely comes from what is now the southeastern region of Germany. On both sides of the blade, an inlaid mark in the shape of a key can be seen.

Am I right to date the sword to the 2nd half of the 14th century?

Does anyone know that mark?

Overall length: 108 cm
Blade: 84.5 cm
Blade width: 4.5 cm
Handle: 17.3 cm
Guard: 23.5 cm
Pommel: 4.8 cm

Kind regards
Andreas
