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

Hi 'Nando,
The iron hammer head is ca. 1580, German or Polish. The haft is an inapt replacement. Best, Michl |

Hi Michl,
Please define inapt. Should it be longer ... or what basic difference? |

Hi 'Nando,
It should, in my opinion, be straight and somewhat longer; in the rear section of the haft there should be a hole for a wrist strap. Best, Michl |

Imho the schiavona on the right is a composite. Nevertheless, some awesome swords in that museum! Who would've thought...
