A Fine and Very Rare South German Landsknecht Saber, ca. 1540
The original cord binding with strands of fine copper wire, one side of the blade engraved with magical lozenge line and dot patterns and struck with a mark in brass tausia, an orb and cross (characteristic of South Germany, Austria and The Tyrol).
Overall length 106,5 cm. Bavarian private collection (not mine). Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 10th February 2009 at 10:12 PM. |
