Wow Peter, I don't mean to sound like a fanboy, but that is one mean looking weapon. |
I am an unabashed fanboy of Peter's work. Ha! It's all awesome stuff.
Thank you Tony for sharing the pics. I noticed the different corrosion patern too, and then I noticed Peter already mentioned it. Bronze huh... I think that would look pretty neat.

Hello Pete,
Looks like bronze on the picture but all Iron.

Thanks for the pics, Tony.
Any idea of dimensions and find place (if that's not asking too much - that'd be really appreciated here) :) ?
Yep, Peter, sometimes pics look greenish, but that's just a side effect of strange lighting.

Maybe this will interest you:

Though the thread is mainly about the messers' smaller cousin; the bauernwehr/rugger - there are also some refrences to the messer.

OK Fab,
The messer was found in Germany, Complete lenth = 27" , Grip to of pommel = 6.70"
Widest part of blade = 2" Has six holes to attatch grip. This is a nasty weapon but the balance and size would make it I`m sure winner in battle. Hope this is of help.
Tony..
