Ancient sword with engravings and sheath.
Arnold Schönberg to Friderika Zweig, May 22, 1951:
"The sword must have been given at first no later than after the last battle in which Prinz Eugenius could have been in danger of life. Mr. Saxl, who was the last owner before myself of the sword, has in all probability received it during the Hungarian Revolution in 1848; I myself received it around (that is, a little before or after) then 1920; but I don't remember the exact date. It might be difficult to establish the date of Mr. Saxl's death, because he was Jewish and Hitler had destroyed everything Jewish in Vienna.
I had also received a letter, written on aged paper turned yellow. I don't think that I ever read this letter. I assume it was in Hungarian which I do not understand. It has disappeared--stolen or misplaced.
I remember that Mr. Saxl and my aunt spoke often of the sword when they were in need of money. Certainly they believed it to be a great treasure.
I think this letter answers now all your questions. If it were in Los Angeles, we could also have the expert seeing it directly here, either in his or in my house."
