Thanks guys! BUT... There are two types of these figure 8 guards... One typically landsknecht, german, and one that seems to be connected with Swiss, but I'm not yet sure and hoped somebody knows more...
Below, first picture is german style and lower two are reproductions of the possible Swiss style... Last picture is Lutel reproduction of both, side by side... |

Here’s an interesting katzbalger from the armoury of Castel Sant’Angelo in the Vatican, Rome. Perhaps it was used by the famous Swiss Guard? This type of sword is bigger than I thought. The style should probably be described as Germanic rather than specifically German.

There strange hand guards were preserved in German fencing foils of 19-20th century. The " windows" were covered with thick pigskin.
