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.

The Frankfurt History Museum can hardly compare to the German National Museum, but it has an interesting section called the "Collectors" Museum", which displays collections of local collectors. Luckily, this includes some nice arms and armor.

Among the late medieval and Rennaissance arms and armor there are also some blue and gilt swords by a local Frankfurt bladesmith family.

Apart from swords, there is also armor, crossbows and polearms.
