Hello everybody,
I would like to present my latest find: a beautiful 19th-century German hunting sword, XL size, with an older blade. Fortunately, the bidding didn't go too high, and I was able to get it, perhaps because it's a composite object and no one else was interested. In any case, I like it very much, and the blade piques my curiosity: Total dimensions: 80 centimeters long for a 63 cm long.flat blade and over 4 cm wide. On both sides of the blade are a wheel and a hangman's gallows (brass remains), as is the case on swords of justice. According to the sellers, this cannot be a sword of justice blade because it is too narrow, and it would rather be a shortened felddegen blade, like the one I have in the photo. It's still quite wide, not 5-6cm of course, and pointed at the end, but still a beautiful old wide blade estimated to date by the seller from the sixteenth or seventeenth century. And the decorations would have been made for of superstition/talisman. What do you think? Any comment welcomed. Kind regards |
