Iron Mindelheim swords

Beitragvon Jeroen Zuiderwijk » 18.07.2006 10:33

Hi,

I'm looking for some information regarding the iron versions of the Mindelheim sword.

First of all, does anyone have detailed pictures/measurements of the ivory hilted sword from Hallstatt from grave 573?

Secondly, in the Army Museum in Delft (Netherlands) there was a cast a sword with a gold decorated hilt:

Does anyone have information about the original from which this cast was taken? I'm in particular looking for the place where it was found, and perhaps pictures of the original to judge the accuracy of the cast.

And finally, are there any other iron Mindelheim swords that have still part of their original surface preserved, aside from the sword from the king of Oss (Netherlands)?

Oops. This was supposed to go to the "Schwerter" forum. Can the thread be moved there? Sorry! :?

There are some more of this swords...
For example, Grave 507, 697, 910 with an ivory sword pommel.

This I hadn't seen before yet. Is it supposed to be part of the ivory hilted sword, or of an entirely different sword?

There's more? I didn't know that. Do you have pictures of them by any chance?

Thanks Steve!

The Tomba site doesn't work for me (my browser at work doesn't support the right software), so I've never been able to look into it.
