yes, absolutely correct.

I know these swords in Zurich but was curious about the sword you posted.
it is very aesthetic in dimensions and form.

BTW there is a closer sword to the castillon 2 hander in this museum with a similar cross with globular finals and a similar blade (XVa) geometrie und nr LM8096.
however this sword does not have a pommel type T/b3 but a type V (fishtail) and is dated later around 1450.

best,
