The katzbalger is a special type of arming sword or broadsword developed during the Renaissance in Germany, it was the infamous signature weapon of the Landsknecht mercenaries. A sturdy, medium-length sword with a distinctive 'S' shaped guard, the blade itself is strait and parallel edged with a spatulate or rounded point, usually lightened by several short fullers in the forte. Katzbalgers were actually made in many different sizes, ranging from the short sword depicted here, to an arming sword size, and even hand and a half and very large two-handed versions. Most had a pretty distinctive shape and size as described above, with a heavy sometimes bronze or brass pommel and a heavy cutting blade.
