Hi Michael,
that is interesting, I have a similar 2hander, if this one is described under inv. 161.121 nr280(see last picture) it also has the same shield engraved in the blade!, with the characters S H, I don't know the meaning yet. maybe it stands for Hans Staentler. best, Last edited by cornelistromp; 16th December 2011 at 07:52 PM. |

Nice item Jasper,
Although, being dated 1591, this is not really a Landsknecht sword any more but a bearing sword, most probably of Austrian origin. Btw, I have never heard of a Hans Stantler - do you happen to have records on him? Best, Michael |

Katzbalgers and two-hand Landsknecht swords, by Urs Graf, dated 1523 and 1524 repectively.

Some more period artwork.
The South Geman/Swiss motto Fryheit on the banner in the fourth image means Freedom. m |

there were still some Landsknecht upto the 17th century! seperately of the vatican-guard of course. Hans Stantler was a swordcutler in the second half of the 16thC in Muenchen, probably the son of Wolfgang Stantler. (CF Ullstein) best, |
