I've got over sixty of the Perry sculpted GW multi-part Landsknechts from the late 90s and eventually planning on converting them to pikemen, but need scabbarded katzbalger swords - the ones on the sprue are generic medieval. Anyone know a manufacturer of these in 28-30mm?

I think that most of them are supposed to be Swiss daggers/swords, based on roman weaponry, so you could absolutely use some of them. However I agree, some katzbalgers would be very nice :)

While I don't think that every Landsknecht had a Katzablager, it is as distinctive as the Swiss Schweizerdolch, especially in the prints. I think the quillons couldn't be molded, hence the generic guards. I think TAG might release some whenever they get round to Landsknechts, but was wondering if anyone else had already released these in metal. Had thought of adding my own, but prefer making pikes.
