The Army Museum in Stockholm has one.
https://digitaltmuseum.se/0110244174...s=10&count=674 If I'm to translate the interesting bits, it was given to the museum by a colonel Theodor Jakobsson, who is to have bought it form the Bayerisches army museum in Dresden in the twenties. Somewhat remarkable is that the museum associates it with Pappenheim's cavalry. Total length 99cm, blade 77.5cm, weight 1410g. Maximum blade width 54mm. The ricasso is 65mm long, tapering from 28mm where it transitions into the blade to 19mm at the hilt. Both sides of the ricasso stamped with a crowned S over T, and the inside also stamped with a crowned H Z. |

Theodor Jakobsson couldn't habe bought this piece in Dresden because the Bavarian Army Museum was in the 1920s situated in the Bavarian city of Munic, not in the Saxon city of Dresden.
By the way: These swords of the Munic city guard are known as "Standler Rapiers". corrado26 |

Excellent input Corrado, thank you! Interesting note to the colloquially used term 'Stantler rapiers' for these Munich town guard swords. It seems that the Munich produced examples were made by that maker (see my post #4).....and it was long popularly held apparently that these were 'all' made in Munich...however it seems some Solingen examples produced as well. |
