As I finally have dug up this article:
Nymark, Lis (1980).
"Et ny fundet gravsværd fra Øm kloster med et katalog over middelalderlige gravsværd fra det nuværende Danmark."
Hikuin 6, p. 121-134

I can now give pictures and measurements of some of the Danish XVIIIe swords found a Danish graves and will try to put pictures and sword information together.

From Ada Bruhn-Hoffmeyer's book you first have this picture.

The first sword on the left on the above picture from Kalundborg is from Kålundkloster:
Total Length: 144,5 cm
Pommel: 5,5 cm, pear-shaped and facetted.
Grip: Wood with probable traces of leather and iron bands.
Crossguard: Very corroded.
Blade length: 100 cm
Blade width: Max. 3,8 cm
Unidentified mark in the ricasso.
Kalundborg museum inventory number: 6605.

The second sword (left to right) is from Nationalmuseet with the inventory number D 11695 (11.695 is a typo).
It is a find from Sorø Sø on Sjælland.

The third sword is from Roskilde Cathedral found on the coffin of King Christian I in 1843. The grip had wood and brass-thread preserved when found and also a leather scabbard with an inside of "lærred" (weaved fabric) which had rusted onto the blade. Neither grip wood, brass nor scabbard was conserved.
Total Length: 133,5 cm
Pommel: 6 cm high, pear-shaped and facetted (gilded bronze)
Grip: 30 cm
Cross-guard: Gilded bronze. One end broken, The other end is "båndformet" (band-shaped ?) and bent forwards. Original length estimated at 15,7 cm.
Blade length: 97,5 cm [weak middle ridge]
Blade width: Max 6 cm
Ricasso: 17 cm [4-sided with a flat 2 cm wide fuller].
Stamped marks on both grip and ricasso.
Is on display in Roskilde Cathedral.

The fourth sword is from the E.A. Christensen collection. It was bought from the collection of Hans C. Leiden in 1934 (auction number 220). [Here info from Gammelt Jern by Ada Bruhn-Hoffmeyer (1968)]
Blade length: 98 cm
Blade width: 3,8 cm
Ricasso: 17 cm [4 times impressed mark which is the same mark as on the sword of Christian I !]
Grip: 38,5 cm
Pommel: Pear-shaped [no measurement given]
Cross-guard: Flat and strongly curving forwards [no measurement given].
-> So total length should be 136,5 cm + whatever size the pommel can add?

A second grave-sword from Kalundborg - under the choir in the "Gråbrødrekloster Kirke": (see attached picture of "lone" sword)
Total length: 141 cm
Pommel: 7 cm high, pear-shaped and facetted.
Grip: 34 cm. Wood and iron threaded bands (another study says 5 bands with brass thread).
Blade length: 98 cm (rhombic blade geometry).
Ricasso: 18cm
Cross-guard: 23 cm straight.
Nationalmuseet inventory number D 1575/1961.

Then you have two XVIIIe swords from Gråbrødre klosterkirke in Næstved (see attached picture showing 4 swords)

The second sword from the left (was found together with the third sword):
Total length: 143,5 cm
Pommel: 7 cm high, pear-shaped and facetted.
Grip: 32,5 cm, wood preserved and iron thread binding.
Cross-guard: 22 cm slightly curved forwards, tip of one end broken.
Blade length: 102 cm (slender blade with rhombic blade geometry)
Minuscle (?) mark on the ricasso.
Nationalmuseet inventory number D 1422/1957
NB: This sword shows a folded tip on the picture, so interestingly it could be a practice sword?

The fourth sword from the left:
Total length: 143 cm
Pommel. 5,5 cm high, pear-shaped and facetted.
Grip: 33 cm, wood and iron thread binding.
Cross-guard; 17cm, "båndformet", curved forwards, tip of one end broken.
Blade length: 102 cm (rhombic blade geometry)
Minuscle (?) mark on the ricasso.
Nationalmuseeet inventory number D 1423/1957.

The following one was found in Kolding, where in former times a cloister was probably placed:

Ricasso: 19,5 cm.
Blade width: Max 4,5 cm.
Width of Tang: 2,2 cm.

Lastly from Søborg Lake or Søborg Castle Vilhelm Boye reported a long-gripped two-handed sword in 1882, which perhaps not is a Type XVIIIe as it's unclear from the picture if it has an extended ricasso.

Information about his sword likely in:
Boye, Vilhelm (1882).
Fund af Gjenstande fra Oldtiden og Middelalderen i og ved Søborg Sø.
København 1882.

So besides this picture (see attachment) I don't have anything else to go on.

Søborg Lake sword.

Thanks for sharing Niels, these are such a striking subtype. I can add details for one closely comparable example...

The following was excavated in 1924 near Mook, in Limburg, Belgium. The sword is too small to be a true two-hander like the others, being only 117 cm long, with a 941 cm blade. The hilt is thought to have been shortened however. The curved cross is a modern restoration, modeled on a sword of near identical proportions in a private collection.

The sword was held by the Legermuseum in Delft, and has presumably now passed to the new Militair Museum.

Here are two additional plates from Hoffmeyer showing a few more XVIIIe's and other long-gripped swords held in Copenhagen. D8804 in plate XXV.e might be the Soborg sword you posted.

Thanks Niels and Mark, I just love these long-hilted Scandinavian two-handers. I think the Soborg sword may be the one in the centre of the attached photos, taken in the National Museum, Copenhagen.

Trying again to attach photos.

I have figured out where the Sword D 1496 from Hoffmeyer's plate XXXVII sword a) added above by Mark is from:

This sword is from Slesvig and must be a find before 1864, when Slesvig was still Danish.

It is a mix of characteristics as it has a narrowed ricasso and a hexagonal pear-shaped pommel like a typical "XVIIIe", but has a cross-guard with "upturned" ends
This type of exact cross-guard is found on a grave-sword from "Øm Kloster", which doesn't have a narrowed ricasso though.
Sadly Nymark (1980) only mention the Slesvig sword in passing and doesn't add it to her catalog as it is not a grave-sword.
But she mentions that the cross-guard of the Slesvig sword is shorter than the Øm sword - (Øm sword cross-guard given as 27 cm in her catalog).

So the D 1496 is perhaps an example of a sword with narrowed ricasso from (originally) Denmark, that is not a 2-hander but a hand-and-a-half sword like the sword mark showed from Mook in Belgium (just the Belgian had the U-shaped cross-guard).
It does have a shorter grip than the other swords shown with "narrowed ricasso".

NB: The sword just left of the pretzel-sword from Tude Å added by Neil seems to be a third sword of that type.
It is very like the Øm Sword, but has a different pommel, and while the pommel is identical to the Slesvig-sword (D 1496) it doesn't have a narrowed ricasso and has a very long grip while the D 1496 has a "fairly" short one.

After a bit of cross referencing, I think all the long-gripped swords in this display can be identified. For convenient future reference, from right to left:

D 13492, Tudeå - http://myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?p=298679#298679

D 1496, Slesvig By - Hoffmeyer, XXXVII.a. The cross appears to be loose, and slipped forward over the ricasso

D 11695, Sorø Sø - Hoffmeyer, XXXVI.b

D 16140, Fiil Sø - Hoffmeyer, XXXVII.b

D 8804, Søborg - Hoffmeyer, XXXV.e

D 4850, Helsingør - Hoffmeyer, XXXV.d. Schmid, 6a

D 358, Sperring Sø - Hoffmeyer, XXX.b. http://myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=32523&highlight=

D 4446, Hinge Sø - Hoffmeyer, XXXVIII.a

[ Linked Image ]

Additional two-handers are shown in Hoffmeyer, plate XXXVIII. D9106 in (d) appears to be the same as one illustrated in Niels' other thread: http://myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?p=298757#298757

Besides the D 1496 you have at least one other Danish sword with upturned cross-guard ends.

This is a sword found in 1977 in a grave near Øm Kloster and described in Nymark (1980).

In the grave was found the remains of a man between the age of 40-60 years. His height was 184 cm (!) and his death was of unknown circumstances.

In the grave some traces (rust and wood) was found of a scabbard; also an iron buckle and a ring-locket of bronze with traces of textile were found.

On the blade on both sides were brass inlaid marks 9 cm under the grip (partly preserved), which looks a bit like marks from Solingen or Passau, though no definite identification with existing known marks could be done.

Øm Kloster Sword.
Total length: 118 cm
Pommel: Spherical/Octagonal. Diameter 4,5 cm
Grip: 27,5 cm - wood fragments preserved.
Cross-guard: 27 cm, narrow curving forwards with upturned ends.
Blade length: 84,4 cm
Blade width: Max 4,7 cm ("lens-formed" blade geometry, but "flat" on the first quarter of the blade).
Nationalmuseet: Inventory Number D 169/1978
Is deposited at Øm Kloster Museum.

Øm Kloster Sword.

I borrowed Hoffmeyer's book from the library some years ago and noted some of her measurements ( from a different page than the plates). I have noted that the Soborg sword (D8804), plate XXXVe is 162cm total and 114cm blade. The Helsingor sword (D4850), XXXVd is 152cm and 105cm. But I have noticed that Hoffmeyer, like Oakeshott, could be careless or mistaken in her measurements so I cannot guarantee these figures.
