I love seing half-sword technique with sword and buckler. Does the Lignitzer text say to hit your opponent with the buckler after you have disarmed it? I don't have access to an english translation but it seems good sense to drop the 2nd buckler, put your hand back on your sword and thrust into the neck instead.
Sure you can thrust him with your sword, however, than you don't pin his blade anymore. Then again, he may not really think about using his sword feeling the pain from his broken wrist. I'd say adapt to the situation. Best to do both, probably!
If you go to the HES sub-forum on SFI you will find in our posting a link to a plate by Paulus Kal. No follow-on action either.
could you translate in english please?

in the text is no description of the "kill". it ends with the sentence: "thats the way you take his shield."

Sorry, the Paulus Kal plate link on SFI shows a different technique. Just click forward to the shield-seizing having opened the link.
