Sorry i know English very bad :(
That's found on page of 174 of Records of the Medieval Sword by Ewart Oakeshott.
Sorry I can't scan the picture right now, but that's about the size it appears in the book.
Hope this helps,
Dan

I have this book, but i need photo of enother foreshotenings.
Did this sword have central ridge or not?
Here is a quick sketch I did a few years back when visiting Royal Armouries in Leeds.
The data I have on this sword is from the museum:
Inventory number IX.1426
Overall length: 94 cm
Blade length: 77.5 cm
Weight: 1300 grams
The blade is of strong diamond section. Flat bevels or very, very shallow hollow ground.
Note that the guard looks narrow from the front, but is of ribbon type: pretty wide. The ends are nicely forged into thickened "scrolls".
I would guess the point of balance to be around 10 cm from the guard (a guess!).
Hope this helps.
This is a *very* nice sword! :cool:

One thing that has been mentioned to me several times is that Oakeshott had the unfortunate habit of guessing lengths and weights, and was not always right. I don't know if he did that with this sword or not, but it is a very real possibility.
Some times we get into the "if Oakeshott said it, it's right" mentality, and that may not be true. Likewise, Peter Johnsson may not always be right (no offense intended, Peter), but I think he probably is in this case.

Greyson Brown, thank you.
What is the blade base parameters? 45x7 mm?
What is the brand ( stamp ) on this sword?

Please, help!!! I need more information of this sword!
There is a very good chance that there isn't any more information to be had. The Royal Armouries at Leeds probably knows quite a bit about this particular piece, but I don't know how readily they share information. You might try contacting them (their website is listed on the links page).
Other than that, we can't provide you with information we don't have. I'm sorry.
