About the Item
An exceptional and rare Austrian longsword, designed as a two-handed weapon with a classic cruciform hilt and straight, double-edged blade. This distinguished form bridges the morphological continuum between the medieval knightly sword (ca 11th- 15th century) and the Renaissance Zweihänder, making it a historically significant and highly collectible example.
The longsword was discovered along the Danube River in 1916 and has remained in a private collection ever since. While the surface bears the natural patina of centuries, it retains traces of a bronze maker’s or owner’s initial mark, now obscured by age and corrosion, adding to its intrigue and authenticity.
Mounted elegantly on a dark blue velvet wall display, this piece is not only a remarkable relic of medieval martial tradition but also a striking decorative object. Rarely encountered outside of major museum collections, this one-of-a-kind early double-edged sword represents a unique opportunity for discerning collectors of arms and armour.
