The photo is from the book "European Swords and Daggers in the Tower of London", HMSO 1974, plate 40. Following find the description:
"German broadsword of the mid seventeenth century. The steel hilt is chiselled with animal forms. The blade is etched and gilt with trophies and a cartouche showing a figure above the words CAROLUS REX. The blade has the initials and mark of Peter Munsten of Solingen. Hope this helps a bit! --ElJay |
