Description

Double-edged blade of diamond cross-section, widening slightly towards the head, with strongly waved edges. Long, sturdy ricasso with two lateral guards. The quillons angled slightly toward the blade with bud-shaped, chiselled terminals and forge-welded decorative volutes. Large guard rings on both sides entwined around stylised fleur-de-lys motifs, terminating in large spirals on the sides. The grip is a modern replacement. Conical, grooved pommel. Length 171 cm. Well-balanced two-hand battle sword (weight 3.6 kg), the condition readily improvable by professional restoration of the grip.
