Product description

This sword is a perfect example of a German military cut-and-thrust weapon with a swept hilt, carried by the Munich Town Guard around 1600. The slightly shorter blade and stout hilt were ideal for breaking up street fights or tavern brawls — tasks the town guard regularly handled. Built for practical use, it appears in several private and public collections, including one in the Wallace Collection and several at the Bavarian National Museum. The replica features a sharp, well-tempered 1065 high carbon steel blade, a steel pommel and guard, and a wooden grip wrapped in twisted steel wire for a secure hold. It comes with a leather scabbard.
