South German military sword
This early 17th century military sword was once a weapon used by
those who served in Munich's Town Guard. It has a blued-steel,
swept hand guard that covers the lower part of the hilt and comes
over onto the ricasso - an area often 'pinched'
by the wielder for extra control -offering protection for the
unarmoured hand.
The sturdy hollow-ground blade is marked with the letters S/T
crowned, which was the mark of Munich bladesmith Wolfgang
Stantler.
