Congrats to that beautiful Dussägge! I am dreaming of owning such a sword one day. I would say it is South German, Styrian or Swiss. But as Jim mentioned, they were also famous in Northern Europe. My observation from auction descriptions etc is, that those with a rectangular pommel and the style like yours are mostly attributed to the above mentioned southern region, while those attributed to northern countries are a bit different in style.

That's a great sword in very good condition. I've been looking into them for a while to get a repro made (by a Czech) for a 1620s event on the continent next year, and excluding the heart and having a rounder pommel, its pretty much the same style.

Ahorsa, thank you for the note on the squared pommel, and its connection to the southern Germany regions. That helps define some of the regional variation in these.
