Both numbers 1414 and 1441 appear together with the Passau wolf in XVI century sword blades. These magic numbers are multiples and combinations of the number "7", a divine number, thought to be a cry for God's help, like the Arabs used the "Allah il Allah". Reference to the bible ', from the book of Job (old testament) chapter 14 paragraph 14: Do you believe that dead a man will live again? Every day that i spend now in this war, i'm waiting until my mutation arrives.. Luther, well heard in XVI century German, interpreted that from the Greek as: When a man dies he will be reborn. So i will continue to fight until my time comes.
See here a XVI century Portuguese Colonial sword with the magic number "1441" and the Passau woolf engraved on the blade (Collection Rainer Daehnhardt).
