Details from the so called Resurrection Altar, ca. 1430, from Arnstadt/Thuringia, now preserved in the Berlin Gallery.
Note the short Landsknecht sword (Seitenwehr or Kurzwehr) with riveted wooden or bone grips and the kidney dagger. m |

The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian, ca. 1475
Munich, ca. 1475; now preserved in the Wallraff-Richartz-Museum Cologne (Köln).
Please note the sword of a type that is usually dated 'ca. 1520' and called a 'hunting sword' - so this really is an important painting! |
