Bronze age sword moulds in Germany?

Beitragvon Jeroen Zuiderwijk » 10.10.2006 12:10

Does anyone know if any clay or stone sword mould fragments are known from Germany, or anywhere else on the mainland of Europe for that matter? All my current knowledge is based on moulds from the UK. I do know of a sandstone sword mould from Heilbronn-Neckargartach, but so far that's the only sword mould I know from outside the UK. I'm particularly interested in clay moulds.

Only sword moulds, or other moulds, too?
If you are also interested in other moulds, I might have a few articles.

If its only sword moulds: I remember seeing a couple of replicas of moulds and their swords and explanations about bronze moulds (!) in the Helms-Museum in Hamburg. It seems as if there are finds of bronze moulds. Maybe you can get to Hamburg and look for yourself (olr ask somebody from Hamburg to get the info for you).

Just sword moulds. I know plenty of other moulds, but of sword moulds I only know one from the mainland.

I don't remember exactly. You would need to ask the Helms-Museum.

Hi Jeroen,

There?s the stone mould from Neckargartach, which was just mentioned. Here you find more moulds (just brainstorming)

* sandstone mould of Piverone, Italy (PBF, Bianco-Peroni; Erbenheim-type sword)
* sandstone mould of Font, Kanton Fribourg (Locras type sword)
* two stone moulds of Odessa, Ukraine
* bronze mould of a Mörigen sword hilt, found in Erlingshofen, Germany
* sandstone mould of Castione di Marchesi, Italy (PBF, Bianco-Peroni; Roncoferrano type sword)
* sand?stone moulds of Radzovce and Plesany, Slovakia (don?t know the type of sword)

Hope I could help! If you need more literature, just tell me!


LG,
Marianne.

sword moulds from Sylt

Beitragvon Blattspitze » 25.11.2007 15:40

There are several sword moulds known from Sylt, Schleswig-Holstein.
They were made of clay and had a wooden stick as a stabaliser parallel to the to be blade inside. When the moulds were fired, the sticks vanished.
