a landsknecht two hand sword from the armory of Solothurn, Switzerland.
see the similarity in the style of the guard with the Katzbalger found.
The mythical creature here is still very realistic in shape, even de eyes are visible, suggesting an earlier date from 1520 to 1530.
the Katzbalger under discussion has stylistically shaped mythical creatures spitting the guard from the mouth.

best,
jasper
