The idea that someone invented the sword-thrust came from gentleman-antiquarians before the First World War like Egerton Castle. There were not really any reliable histories of European martial arts in English before Martial Arts of Renaissance Europe in 2000.

Re: Oakeshott Typology Broadswords
He, no doubt was ignoring the other Victorians who had some early swords they wanted to call 'Bronze Age Rapiers". There's one of those in de Camp's The Tritonian Ring just to show how confused the issue was.
