A GERMAN FIGHTING TWO HAND SWORD LATE 16 TH CENTURY

Maybe I should have posted this pictures before. It is obvious that this hilt has been heavily cleaned, there are still some (black) trace of rust. Furthermore, it is a kind of old wax we find only on the hilt which gives this brown color, providing a different aspect if compared with the shiny blade.
So I have decided to remove this old wax only in one quillon end, so we can better see that the hilt had been seriously attacked by rust too .
