I am trying to find any zweihanders/2-handed swords which are marked (eg with coats of arms) as belonging to the bodyguard of anyone notable - anyone rich and powerful enough to afford a bodyguard. I know of the swords of Duke Julius of Brunswick's Guard (I have located 43 of these so far) and those of Markus Sittikus, Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, but cannot find any others. There are loads of halberds, glaives, partizans marked to the Guards of numerous princes, dukes etc, and individual 2-handers associated with particular nobles but no other bodyguard 2-handers. They must have existed and some of you experts must have come across some, so let me know, please. Many thanks.
Neil
