The hilt has a wire bound handle very characteristic of swords of the period. There are many surviving examples of almost identical swords. Many of these are in the town armoury at Braz in Austria. A good one is in the Royal Armouries, (.IX 1029), illustrated in 'European Swords and Daggers in the Tower of London, plate 21d. reference term-106602 adlib-term-106602 bbb4c00f-eefa-3d64-9441-7a75aa07736e 16th Century reference term-108933 adlib-term-108933 db8b36c0-d6dd-3d33-bc15-a111d932fc4b literal Germany Germany country South Germany Length cm 132.1 Weight kg 1.25 reference term-42208 adlib-term-42208 56bdf465-22ee-3b51-a8c4-fe4a29b1ca93 sword long sword Reitchwert history note Probably from Schloss Ambras reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-1869 adlib-publication-1869 a4034362-38df-3cde-b5aa-ab4ff80bc8a7 European Swords and Daggers in the Tower of London
