Please allow highlighting this fine hand-and-a-half Landsknecht saber, South German or Swiss, ca. 1530.

So it seems as Dijon has a lot more interesting things than just mustard

.
Say Michl, how old would this war hammer be?

Hi 'Nando,

The iron hammer head is ca. 1580, German or Polish. The haft is an inapt replacement.

Best,
Michl

Hi Michl,
Please define inapt.
Should it be longer ... or what basic difference?

Hi 'Nando,

It should, in my opinion, be straight and somewhat longer; in the rear section of the haft there should be a hole for a wrist strap.

Best,
Michl

Imho the schiavona on the right is a composite. Nevertheless, some awesome swords in that museum! Who would've thought...
