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 |

Landsknecht Two-Hand Swords in Combat
From the so-called Codex Amberger, a compilation of early- to mid-16th century German illuminated manuscripts which is now in the private colection of Christoph Amberger, USA.
The first illustration attached can - based on the shape of the costumes - be dated to ca. 1560, a period when the heday of the Landsknechte had already become a piece of history. The second illustration seems to be from the 1520's-30's. http://fencingclassics.wordpress.com/ Best, m |

A Landsknecht with his Katzbalger, beginning of the 16th century, the quillons showing the earliest form of the 'pretzel' which is not fully developed yet.
From the Herscheider Altar in Burg Altena. m |
