I was pulling images from the Museum of London website, and came across this Katzbalger:

the image is not remarkable, but the caption indicates that the sword was found in London and might have been dropped by one of Karl V's entourage when he visited London in 1522. Thought y'all might be interested.

Wow, that's really remarkable. Given the level of detail on the sword, along with its apparent length, was it perhaps owned by an officer? I suppose when Karl V visited London, he would have been accompanied by a good many high-ranking soldiers.
