What I mean is the hilt is full size made for an adult. I first thought it may have been a boys sword but after handling it I know it is a man's sword with a stout blade it is beautifully balanced and very quick in the hand. Maybe this was a back up sword or possibly some type of boarding sword for a naval warrior. I am also thinking it could be a type of court sword it has less of an opposing presence than a full size tulwar?
