The sword that killed the Earl of Huntly has been published, along with many others, in the two handed sword, history design and use by Neil Melville.
this book is a real masterpiece written by one with the most knowledgable researchers/writers of this fascinating type of sword.
The book is the most complete work I know about this subject, with beautiful images, highly recommended.

best,
Jasper
