Hi Andreas,

I completely agree here, also a sword can be better preserved in most cases by nature than by people.
The condition deteriorates a bit, but more important it is in +-500 years not touched, disassembled, cleaned and restored.

attached a landsknecht in colour with a similar katzbalger.
very best wishes
