Thanks for your replies!
Yes, I mean the point of balance. I am not sure if "Broadsword" is the right specification. Actually I mean field swords / Felddegen. I´ve got one from the mid of the 17th century with a 77cm long blade where the balance point is at 9,2 cm (which is only around 12%), measured from the crossguard...

Best regards
Andreas
