Degen vom Ambraser Typus, deutsch, um 1580
Kräftige, spitz zulaufende Klinge mit rhombischem Querschnitt. Die kräftige Fehlschärfe einseitig mit Schmiedemarke (Buchstabe T, darüber ein Ring). Typisches eisernes Spangengefäß mit S-förmig geschwungenem Faustbügel. Spiralig gekehlte Hilze mit Eisendrahtwicklung (Fehlstelle) und Türkenbünden. Einseitig gelochter Fischschwanzknauf. Oberflächen gereinigt, teils Reste von Narben. Länge 111 cm.
Eine Gruppe Degen mit identischer Form und Klingenmarke befindet sich noch heute in der Rüstkammer des Schlosses Ambras bei Innsbruck. Es wird angenommen, dass sie um 1580 für die Bewaffnung der dortigen Schlossgarde Erzherzogs Ferdinand II. angeschafft wurden.

Sturdy, tapering blade of flattened diamond section. A small smith's mark stamped on one side of the sturdy ricasso (the letter T below a ring). Typical iron swept hilt with S-shaped curved knuckle bow. The grip spirally fluted with iron wire winding (one flaw) and Turk's heads. The fishtail pommel perforated on one side. The surfaces cleaned, traces of pitting in places. Length 111 cm.
A collection of rapiers of identical shape stamped with the same blade-mark can still be found in the armoury of Ambras Castle near Innsbruck. It is believed that they were commissioned around 1580 for the armament of the castle guards of Archduke Ferdinand II.
