From a Resurrection Altar scene dated 1519, painted by Jörg Ratgeb, who was a Landsknecht leader himself and was executed by being torn apart by four horses in Pforzheim in 1526.

Thank you! Can't really tell much about it besides the fact that it has 36" blade with wolf mark on it, with wonderful balance. The only other picture of it is here, shown with its sister sword.

Hi,
re: the guard circular tracks (due to mechanical rotation?) can be seen on the flat side of the guard finals. Can you please post a picture where you can see how these finals are attached to the guard? Do you maybe have a provenance of this sword, collection, dealer or auctionhouse? best, |
