compare the above katzbalger of the KHM in Vienna with a Katzbalger from the London museum, a katzbalger of the garde of karel V.

This London Katzbalger is exactly, I mean EXACTLY, of the same type as the one in KHM Vienna, perhaps made by the same sword maker/workshop.

so this is how the Katzbalger in KHM Vienna originally must have looked.
The dating of the london museum also can be adjusted from 1520 to 1510!, because the Katzbalger of KHM Vienna is dated 1509.
