Sax and two knives, Merovingian, 6th century A.D. Single-edged sword with a blunt spine, featuring two grooves below it—one near the spine, the other in the center of the blade. Long, trapezoidal tang with a hook-shaped bend at the end. Traces of corrosion on the surface; the tang is slightly bent. Length: 51 cm. Also included are two small knives. Both have wide tangs and grooves below the blunt back. One has a cutting edge that curves toward the back, while the other has a back that is beveled at the front and a straight cutting edge. The knives are very well preserved, with surfaces discolored brown by oxides but without significant corrosion. Length: 14 cm each. CULTURAL HERITAGE! Provenance: Private collection in southern Germany, acquired at the beginning of the millennium from the seller’s father, who passed away in 2013. Condition: II–III
