Sword for ID and comment

That's a great sword in very good condition. I've been looking into them for a while to get a repro made (by a Czech) for a 1620s event on the continent next year, and excluding the heart and having a rounder pommel, its pretty much the same style.

Ahorsa, thank you for the note on the squared pommel, and its connection to the southern Germany regions. That helps define some of the regional variation in these.
