16 th or 15 th century blade with Passau running wolf for ID
I have bought this 17th century hunting sword specially for its earlier broad tapering blade .It has a shallow central fuller about 20 cm for 68.5 cm in blade, wide 6.4 cm near the hilt and 4cm near the tip and also running wolf and star mark on each face.
The blade is still sharpened and I believe that it had been a very efficient cutting sword during its livetime. It seems that according the passau mark this blade could be from the 15 th or 16 th century may be a member could let me know from which type of sword this blade come from. Any comment on it would be welcome Best Cerjak |

Very very nice, Jean-Luc.
Any signs that it has been a longer blade ? |

Hi fernando, To me it seems that this blade is still in his original size and don't see any signs that it had been shortened. I sure that Jasper could let us know . Best Jean-Luc |

May be a variant from the Oakeshott's Type XXII ? Broad and flat
But have only one fuller and not two This types were popular in the 15th century and lasted into the 16th century |
