I hope you don't mind my re-attaching better quality scans of these unusually fine items, together with the informative texts.  The first Katzbalger dates of ca. 1515-20, next there is a sample of ca. 1540 but please note that the blade is from a rapier of ca. 1590-1600. The excavated find is a rare Katzbalger saber (I don't really think it should be called cutlass) of ca. 1535. Best, Michael |

These two Landsknecht daggers in the Legermuseum range among the finest I have ever seen.
For the first I would suggest a date of almost exactly 1500, the other might be a decade or so younger. Best, m |

And preserved in virtually 'untouched', heavily olive oil patinated condition as well!

Hi Jasper,
You're right, of course; it should read 'failed to sell'. Apart from that: well, I dislike the leather on the grip but on the other hand, I wasn't there to handle it. So your knowledge on this is doubtlessly more profound than mine. Thanks, and best, Michael |
