This publication is devoted to a medieval sword from the collection of the Königsberg Prussia Museum. The sword was found before the World War II under elusive circumstances in the surrounding of Ragnit in the district of Ragnit, East Prussia. The distinctive feature of this weapon, dated to the 11th – first half of the 12th century, is a for this time period untypical construction of the blade, which is provided with a double fuller. The sword seems, however, to be not the only artefact of its kind: its blade has close analogies among contemporary sword finds and probably represents a blade type (or a variant, respectively), which has not been yet described as such in the archaeological literature.
