Munich Sword

Circa 1600

This is one of the most practical and prolific swords Windlass has ever offered. There are several of these swords in various private and public collections, one in the Wallace Collection and several at the Bavarian National Museum. It's a perfect example of a German military cut-and-thrust swept hilt carried by the Munich Town Guard. The slightly shorter blade and stout hilt were perfect for breaking up a street fight or tavern brawl, as the town guard was often employed to do, and was clearly intended for practical use.

Our replica has a sharp, well-tempered 1065 high carbon steel blade. The pommel and guard are steel and the wood grip is wrapped in twisted steel wire for a very positive hold. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts and includes scabbard.
