I sell this one-edged sword from Southern Germany, called "Langes Messer" (literally "Long Knife"). You can find it pictured for example in the Fechtbücher (fencing books) of Hans Talhoffer.
Weapons like this were in use in the 15th and 16th centuries. This particular piece dates from around 1500 with a very typical pommel for that time. It seems to have been restored with some sort of acid, so the overall condition is not so good. However, pieces like this are quite rare and it is a good opportunity to get a "real medieval sword". I myself bought it some years ago in a respected German auction house. Price is 300 Euro, that's 393 USD or 261 £. Measurements: Overall length: 85.0 cm Blade length: 72.0 cm Handle: 13.0 cm Weight: 585 g Peter |
