Default water-found knight sword

Type: XVI
FIND PLACE: Maas in the Netherlands 1970
OVERALL LENGTH: 106cm
BLADE LENGTH: 87,5 cm
BLADE WIDTH: 5 cm
WEIGHT: 1195 gr
POMMEL TYPE: (still) unclassified
CROSS STYLE: 6
DATE:1300-1350
CONDITION: river-found excellent.beautiful flint-hart coat of Goethite (FeOoh) which is formed by the chemical interaction of rust wit the chemical constituent of the surrounding mud of the river Maas in the "silent" 600 years.
there is no corrosion, the erosion on the edges is the result of wear and honing.the blade is identical to Oakeshott
XVI.3 records of the medieval sword.

Very nice, are there any marks on the blade to indicate a specific maker?

Hi Gre,

thank you!
I can not trace any marks on the blade maybe under the patina-layer which I don't want to harm.

furthermore there are 2 half-moon shaped marks punched in the beginning of the fuller on the tang.(see picture)

best regards
