A lovely sword, and many thanks for posting this with dimensions.

I`m thinking this could well be a nice project for future reproduction.

Of interest, the pommel is an identical form and of very similar size and decoration of that on the Bruce sword, a two hander in the possession of Lord Elgin, direct descendant of the Bruce.

The legend behind that sword is that it was owned and used by the Bruce himself. Some experts have doubted the authenticity of the sword, but this detail in itself points exactly to the Bruce period. The first similar example I have seen
