The fact that somebody carries a kind of sword would, in my opinion, rather support than contradict the theory that he may be an inspector.
Cf. the sidearm of the guy who is clearly inspecting the quality of incendiary quarrels in one of my former posts! My interpretation is that being armed underlines his position which is higher than that of the workers. Michael |

See what that sleeping Landsknecht guy has rested on his knees!
A 1530's matchlock harquebus with blued iron parts, brass tunnel back sight and heavily swamped muzzle section, the stock left 'in the white'!!!!
