Our version is based on the auction lot #413 (AUCTIONS IMPERIAL 2015 NOVEMBER 14) at Handerson, NV
Typical flared, fluted and profiled steel pommel and Wooden Grip
The katzbalger is a side-arm, often used by pikemen, archers, and crossbowmen as a last resort if the enemy were to draw too close for bows or pikes to be effective.
Mostly a cutting sword, the rounded tips on many examples are ill-suited to thrusting, while the flat, broad blades are specialized for cutting. As with other similar cutting-centric arming swords, it can still be used for thrusting, though it is only likely to do damage to unarmored targets.
