If by chance this is a Medieval sword it sold for very small money. |

So Rick, what is your hand width when holding a sword hilt?
Please don't say two feet and a half! Jens ![]() |

I interpreted the 6cm to be the width of the blade at the base (hilt)
I also agree that the hilt itself looks usable (and I have decently-sized hands) j. |

![]() ![]() At any rate; back to the sword in question; if indeed the grip length is 10cm then that would seem an acceptable size. True medieval swords are such rarities these days and the market is filled with fakes; this may explain why this piece went for short money . If it is genuine then someone got a hell of a deal . |
