A Solingen campaign sword, ca. 1630
Double-edged blade of lenticular section, a king's head mark struck on both sides. Iron knuckle-bow hilt with a relief-chiseled iron sheet guard plate inserted on the obverse, thumb ring on the reverse. Original grip fluted on the side, with iron wire winding and Turk's heads. Round pommel with a side-inserted knuckle bow. Length 98.5 cm. The blade mark is presumably attributable to the Solingen swordsmith Heinrich Col.
