As one can expect, there are quite a few high-quality items from the Thirty Year War period.

As usual, there is a section of beautiful hinting weapons and accessories.

The German National Museum also holds arms and armor from antiquity. For me at least, so many nice bronze swords, daggers and helmets all at the same place was quite a sight.

The Roman period is represented by some daggers, spathas and helmets, including a unique parade helmet.

The tour continues into late antiquity and the migration period, with a lot of Lobard grave items.

Then of course come the Franks and the Carolingian dynasty. I really liked the two Ulfbehrt swords with nice, inlaid pommels.

Finally, there are a few additional medieval items as part of the medieval art galleries, and this ends my tour of the German National Museum. It is a place where anyone with interest in arms and armor will feel like a kid in a candy store.
