Are there any Katzbalgers illustrated in this tome?
Also, what kinds of impact weapons are there?
Thx for your time!
Charles,
There are about a half dozen long polearms, plus about a half-dozen short impact weapons, including at least one axe combined with a pistol. In a quick flip-though, I came across a single Katzbalger.

I realize I neglected to mention the book's condition. The book itself is in fine shape: the binding is tight, the pages undamaged as far as I could tell, and no noteworthy bumps or gouges are on the cloth hardcover or its gilt letters/design. The dust jacket has that one chunk missing, which measures 1 3/8 inches across, and has minor shelf wear. It's protected now by a clear dust jacket protector which should keep it from seeing further harm. For a book published in 1976 it's in pretty darn good shape.
