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 |
