The only detailed 14th c. falchion stats I know of are in my review of MRL's "German Falchion". Follow this link and look under the image of the original Thorpe Falchion for the stats.

A&A's Medici Falchion is later, from the 1560's; but the original is in the Wallace Collection, and A&A may share some details. http://www.arms-n-armor.com/sword158.html A truly splendid piece of work.

JG,

That is HOT! Swords like that make me want to give up contemporary pieces and go after antiques!
