			Hi Dmitry 
 
Thankyou for the referral to Kombinationswaffen des 15.-19. Jahrhunderts, I have managed to track down a copy and order it on line.

I believe I have seen the mechanism you have illustrated before (like you somewhere but can't remember the source) where the blade extends through the hilt.  I know I have seen an example somewhere that has the blade extending via a sheath at the hilt which I thought would be very fragile to use.  Again can't remember where I saw this originally. 
 
Cheers Cathey
