The Army Museum in Stockholm has one.

If I'm to translate the interesting bits, it was given to the museum by a colonel Theodor Jakobsson, who is to have bought it form the Bayerisches army museum in Dresden in the twenties.

Somewhat remarkable is that the museum associates it with Pappenheim's cavalry.

Total length 99cm, blade 77.5cm, weight 1410g. Maximum blade width 54mm. The ricasso is 65mm long, tapering from 28mm where it transitions into the blade to 19mm at the hilt. Both sides of the ricasso stamped with a crowned S over T, and the inside also stamped with a crowned H Z.
