Antique Japanese & World Weapons AUG. 29th
Lot 464:
Large Medieval 12th-14th C. Crusader Knight’s Sword, English or Italian. A very impressive large example, with its massive wheel pommel and strong straight cross guard having tapered and flattened finials, grip has deteriorated with time as the sword was probably in the ground for quite a while, although has survived in very presentable solid condition with much surface rust but retaining its solid structure to the hilt and powerful broad blade, having good deep fuller to each side for nearly half of its length. A remarkable large weapon, used by the early crusader warriors towards the end of Dark Ages era. Total length 45 1/2" Blade length 38 1/2" Blade width 1 7/8".
