After some more late medieval items, the collections transitions into the 17th century and the Thirty Year War.

The swords from this period feature a saber inscribed with the biographies of all the Bavarian princes and electors. There are quite a few early firearms as well.

The collection has some really beautiful accessories, such as powder flasks as well.

There was another display of attractive swords, of which my personal favorite was the calendar blade.

Nice to also see some daggers, as well as quite a few zweihanders.

Horse armor and saddles end the castle museum tour, but there is far more to see in Nuremberg, and I will continue the thread when I have more time next weekend.

The best museum I visited in Germany was the German National Museum in Nuremberg. It has a fantastic arms and armor collection. One of the first things one sees is a rare great helmet. I also liked the malchus with the carved wooden hilt.
