NAUE II depictions after 500 BC?

Sure you can Dan, we do it all the time at all levels of knowledge. If we ignored Greek pottery depictions, most of which are generally crude as most were made as usable pieces of pottery after all not as objects d'art, our awareness would be significantly less than what it is now.

All the depictions in Black Figure are obviously NAUE II types swords with the Red Figure less obvious.

Now, I don't say they are photographic at all and we need to understand the historical contexts to properly interpret what we see, but they are without a doubt quite useful. 

I also did not ask if we can determine for certain what we are seeing, you are answering a question unasked..."I'm looking for any pottery depictions of a NAUE II type sword on Greek pottery AFTER 500 BC. Just Greek please."
