Short sword, Storta, falchion Wide back blade (L 68.5 cm), in the Saxon style, likely made in the 19th century, with two accentuated grooves on each side extending to just before the blade’s tang, as well as two narrow lines, the upper of which tapers into the protruding base of the 16 cm long back edge. The grooves are gilded along a length of 23.5 cm. The hilt is crafted in 16th-century Saxon style from resin (plastic) and is modeled after a historical original. The craftsmanship, including that of the gilded parts of the vessel, suggests a recent production. L 84.7 cm, W 1210 g.
