Hi Jury,
Yes, similar. But the one which will come to my hands is a small sword or big dagger, something between your both examples and with a similar nice blade engraving like your long blade.
Regards,
Detlef

Nice example.
Surprisingly light! How it is balanced?

Hello Changdao
Thanks for the comment. :)
The sword lies very comfortably and pleasantly in the hand; it is quite a working weapon. Well balanced, center of gravity 2/3 to the tip of the blade.
