 |
|
Hello. Has anybody seen a sword replica or a museum artifact that looks exactly like the one on the picture attached below? Swords like this one were supposedly made in the 1540s. Some would say that it's a katzbalger with a complex hilt.

You might try DelTin...they make several models very similar to that.  ....McM

I was just perusing KoA, and they have one that looks pretty close. I would link to it, but I still have yet to figure out how.  ...McM

At first look, I thought it was a side-sword, but maybe it's not. Seeing the pommel would help and also knowing if the illustration is German, English or Italian.
I'm having a hard time making out exactly what this sword is based on the drawing's perspective, but I suppose it could be a complex-hilted katzbalger.
Attached is a poor photo of one at roughly the same angle.

The woodcut itself is German. The pommel is concealed by the arm of the horseman, but it might be star shaped or round. My colleagues say that it is a complex hilt katzbalger or similar german sword.
