Two-hander
anonymous, c. 1575 - c. 1600
This two-hander was probably conceived and made as a ceremonial weapon to be carried in civic guard processions. The bearer of such a sword was the captain of arms, a non-commissioned officer responsible for the militia company’s arms and armour. These were kept in the city armoury.
