What type of weapon is this from the Musée de l'Armée? Messer? Falchion? Saber? Something else?

So this is apparently from the Landsknecht display at the Musée de l'Armée at Invalides, France. It apparently dates from ~1530s or so. I was thinking that maybe a Swiss Saber? Or maybe a messer. Its huge though, almost as big as some of the Two-Handed swords next to it. So maybe a Kriegsmesser? Not sure at all, though it does look cool as hell.
