Another great post, Kisak - thank you very much indeed for sharing!
I think the ballock dagger looks genuine, apart from the unsusual shape of the pommel. Best regards, Michael |

Kisak,
I should like to comment on a few pieces. 1. The Katzbalger: This is a composite piece; the pommel and quillons are orginal, in the Italian fashion, 1530's; the bone grip and the blade are later replacements. Michael |

Re: The Katzbalger: almost all original Katzbalger blades have a few short fullers at the forte and at least one long central fuller running until shortly above the tip.
The hand and a half sword, which is actually an estoc, can be dated to ca. 1525-30; its grip and pommel show the characteristic roped design and much original bluing, the two iron bands on the grip do not belong originally. Michael |
