Hi Joe,
Any idea what catagory or era this sword is? Is this some type of great sword or war sword of the 13th or 14th century?
How long is the blade and grip?
Also, is the sword blade stiff or flexible? Does it whip a bit when swung about? Any sag when held horizontal? Pardon my ignorance, I have never owned an A&A sword before, so I don't know how they are in this regard, especially with a big blade like this...
Thanks much!

About the type of the sword, it looks more like XVIIIa from the 15th century.
