An Important Landsknecht Katzbalger Saber, Southern Germany, ca. 1545
Now that the auction is over I can post this fine piece which a friend of mine acquired for his collection with a little help from myself.
The catalog description called it 'composite' but we think that the blade and hilt are contemporary. Also we do not think that the grip ever had a wire binding as no traces of it can be seen on the leather. Michael |

A related basket hilted sword, ca. 1570, sold Bonhams London, ex-Visser Collection, 2007. Unfortunately the detailed images that I received from the department are out of focus.

Thank you so much, Cornelis, good pictures indeed!
Btw, I sent you a private email! Please do not forget to take a good image of the other figure on the brass grip of your Katzbalger (St. Paul?). Best, Michael |
