15th to 17th Century Halberds and Edged Weapons in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Dijon
From flickr.com, and crediting the photographers.
The painting of the Passion of Christ, ca. 1470-80, has details of halberds, an ear dagger in his sheath with Gothic tinned iron scabbard mount and a Seitenwehr or Kurzwehr with what seems to be an open ring or antenna pommel.

More.
The three two-hand swords seem be 19th century Historismus pieces, and the quillons of the one on the right are mounted upside down. The two pictures at the bottom show an extremely fine and rare South German Landsknecht two-hand sword with broad and inscribed blade, ca. 1540. m |

The first two images show a very fine Late Gothic Sword, probably Italian, ca. 1480.
The Gothic painting scene of the Beheading of St. Barbara shows various types of fine South German swords, ca. 1480. The sculpture represents the young King Louis XII of France, ca. 1620; note the rapier pommel. Best, Michael |

Please allow highlighting this fine hand-and-a-half Landsknecht saber, South German or Swiss, ca. 1530.
