Better photos wanted
If anyone has better photos of this sword or even the handle only, please post them here. I can buy them from the KHM but the cost may be more than it is worth for my little project.

Hi John,
Here are better images of the von Schellenberg Katzbalger at the KHM Vienna. Thought I had posted them somewhere here before but can't find them. The close-ups of the hilt in color at the bottom are mine. Even if you are lucky and get special permission like I did, and are allowed to use flashlight, taking good pictures is extremely critical in the Vienna exhibition (as in most museums when it comes down to guns ...  ).The blade mark on the ricasso is an Italian-style crowned Greek pi. Enjoy, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 7th December 2011 at 02:43 AM. |

Thanks a lot, 'Nando,
Especially as an arquebus of ca. 1540 is illustrated! I'll steal that image for my threads on Landsknecht arquebuses  :http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...echt+harquebus http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...harquebus+1525 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ight=harquebus Best, Michael |
