Many thanks!!!
But, your image more than in this link is necessary

There casually there is no qualitative image of a crown of Rudolf?

Okay I don't have a source for which one, but I seem to recall in one of Oakshott's books that there was a sword used for the Emporer's coronation that was used up through the 20th century. I seem to recall that it looked somewhat like the one in the graphic you posted, but I don't know exactly what link to go for it other than I seem to recall it is still existant in some Austrian Musuem.
This is all from recollection, so take it as possibly just the ramblings of an old man who can't recall things right. :-)
Good luck in your search,

I believe you are thinking of The Sword of Saint Maurice in Vienna, which appears as XI.4 in 'Records of the Medieval Sword' and can be seen on this site. In my opinion it is unlikely to be the model for the sword on the coat of arms.
