Hi Jim,
The stats on this supermodel are: blade 40.5 inches long, 0.39 inch thick, 1.57 inches wide.
I attach more photos. The tip of the blade is not only rounded but the roundness is sharpened as well. In the pic. with a ruler please notice the gap where the blade has been worn from usage, Wolviex is right, it has been used as a chopping weapon (sharpened tip makes sense now too).

NOT a good beheading weapon, but very good for chopping from horseback the weight of the blade alone provided for a substantial impact.
NOT a good weapon for a foot soldier to bring down a rider, can't grab it with 2 hands, too heavy to fight with lifting it over your head, too uncontrollable.

Notice the shinier, even area on the crossguard, seems the thumb ring has been cut off at some point.

Conogre: Hanging was for criminals, thought of as a shameful way to go.
