German Two-handed Sword, Last Quarter 16th C. Impressive and heavy Landsknecht “Zweihander”of gigantic proportions. German and Swiss Landsknechts (mercenaries) of the 15th and 16th Centuries usually carried two swords. The smaller sword, the Katzbalger, was used primarily for one-on-one combat. The second sword, the huge Zweihander (two hander), was often used to attack pike squares, cutting the heads off the pikes to make them vulnerable to cavalry attack. Only the biggest and strongest soldiers carried these massive swords, which could cut a man in half with one blow. Soldiers who carried these were known as Doppelsoldner, or double soldier, because they received double pay for their strength and expertise. This example features iron hilt with original blackening. Quillons and large side rings formed of diamond-section bars; the quillons each with three scrolled finials. Fleur de lis on each side extending from the quillon block within the side rings (old collection tag attached). Spiral twisted wood grip with its original leather wrap (worn, dry, and flaking) and the remains of textile tassels at the top and bottom. Segmented conical pommel with rounded top and button finial. Iron parts chiseled with simple floral and geometric decoration. Double-edged 48″ blade of lens section with stamped maker's mark on each side and two large side lugs, showing lamination and widening at the point. The long flat ricasso with its original wood and leather covering (dry with losses). Guard is loose due to shrinkage of the wood and leather over time. Overall length 64″. A large and impressive sword in untouched original condition.

Creary” in 1864 at Brooklyn, New York she was acquired by the Union Navy on 30 May, 1864 and simultaneously renamed “Wilderness”. She fitted out at the New York Navy Yard and was commissioned on 20, July 1864, being immediately assigned to the 2nd Division of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. After serving briefly at Hampton Roads and the James River she was sent to the North Carolina coast where she was fitted with four 24-pounders in October, 1864. She went into action almost immediately and on the night of 31 October while patrolling off New Inlet, North Carolina, pursued and captured the British blockade runner “Annie”. In December she participated in the attacks on Ft. Fisher where she assisted in the failed attempt to breach the fort by towing the sidewheel steamer “Louisiana” filled with explosives near the fort's walls. The ship exploded as planned but had little effect. On January 13, 1865 “Wilderness” brought troops to within 500 yards of the shore where they were loaded on boats for the final assault on Ft. Fisher. She was decommissioned on 10 June 1865 and transferred to the Treasury Department and served as a revenue cutter in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1873 she was renamed “John A. Dix” and was eventually sold in 1891.
