Markus Sittikus von Hohenems (1574 - 1619) war von 1612 bis 1619 Fürsterzbischof des Erzstifts Salzburg. Die zu seinem Amtsantritt für seine Garde geschaffenen Bidenhänder sind vom Typus sehr unterschiedlich, weisen aber alle die identische Wappenätzung auf. Es wird daher heute davon ausgegangen, dass es sich um ältere, bereits im Salzburger Inventar vorhandene Schwerter handelt, die 1612 der Trabantengarde zugewiesen wurden. Die Inventarstempel auf den Parierhaken stammen von der Inventarisierung der Bestände des Zeughauses der Stadt München im Jahr 1849. Salzburg war 1810-16 von bayerischen Truppen unter Napoleon besetzt. Zu dieser Zeit wurde ein großer Teil der dortigen Zeughausbestände nach München überführt, wo er bis heute aufbewahrt wird.

Markus Sittikus von Hohenems (1574 - 1619) was Prince-Archbishop of the Archbishopric of Salzburg from 1612 to 1619. The two-handed swords that were designed for his guard to mark his inauguration are very different types but all etched with the identical coat of arms. It is therefore believed today that they were older swords that were already part of the Salzburg inventory when they were assigned to his trabant guard in 1612. The inventory stamps on the guards can be traced to the holdings of the armoury of the city of Munich in 1849. Salzburg was occupied by Bavarian troops under Napoleon from 1810 to 1816. At this time, a large part of the local arsenal stock was transferred to Munich, where it remains to this day.
