Katzbalger Landsknecht sword circa 1530, together with unusual period leather and wood scabbard with entwined iron suspension hoops, the splayed pommel and grip fitted with counter curve 'S' shape quillons, 75.5cm overall length. The Landsknechts were German mercenaries who had a formidable reputation as pike men and foot soldiers armed with massive two handed swords. The Katzbalger (cat skinner) or sometimes called a 'Brawler' was a secondary sword of the Landsknecht for when his double handed sword was unavailable or tight spaces required a smaller blade.
