 Posted: Sat 17 Jul, 2010 10:13 am Post subject: Bauernwehr Question |
 |
|
Hello,
I have in my collection an original Bauernwehr found in England. Obviously it seems to be of German origin... and its arrival in England remains a mystery.
I am less familiar with German knives and swords of this period, as I tend to focus on an earlier period. This piece has a great deal of sentimental value and I intend on getting a good reproduction made. It is, however, a somewhat odd specimen which may require a bit of conjecture. The piece has a nagel, but no evidence of a bolster or pommel. I have seen a few examples without pommels.... but none with out bolsters. Does anyone know of any Hauswehrs/Bauernwehrs without bolsters?
I am attaching a grainy picture...
Any help is appreciated.
Best,
Hadrian

It is also referred to as a "Rugger".

Hello,
I have seen a few now with a nagel but no remaining bolster... although they seem to have once had a bolster. The difficulty with this piece is that it has wood corrosion on the nagel.... it seems thus that no bolster was originally present.
Cheers,
Hadrian

Here are some more examples, sorry for the bad results, photos were taken under limiting conditions. Note, one of them has the naggel driven through the guard.
