is there any shred of reality surrounding the claim that this weapon dates from the time of charlemange AND once belonged to him?? if not, what period does the blade date from i know it has probably been rehilted more than once, especially if it is half as old as its claimed to be..........

it has a cruciform hilt which i thought dident exist in the 700-800's...
