Hunting Sword

  • Dated: circa 1750
  • Culture: South German
  • Measurements: overall length 78 cm

The sword has a slightly curved single-edged and double grooved blade. At the base of the blade lies an etched flower and vine decorations. The perforated brass hilt features heavy gilding, while the handle itself is dated second half of 17th century and made from whale tooth ivory. 

The hilt features finely carved and sculpted figures of hounds fighting with bears and a goat. The carving of the handle is probably attributable to the sculptor family Maucher, whose members in the second half of the 17th century worked at various German courts and are especially known for their elaborately decorated hunting weapons.

funnystories:

when I was a freshman in high school, I went to school in a different town and I lived with my sister’s very religious Godmother. one day, she walked into the room I was staying in and she saw the TV and noticed that this creature was talking in the movie I was watching. she went on about how when you watch scary movies, it releases Satan into your home and how Hollywood directors summon demons to create scary movies and all this crazy stuff. I changed it and didn’t mind it much. a couple days later, I got home from school and she was telling me how she saw “Satan’s shadow lurking around the house” and basically blamed me for releasing Satan into her house by watching a movie with a talking animal. the movie I was watching was Narnia.
