Hi All,
This sword is of a very distinctive type with a type U pommel and often mounted on a guard with a downturned cross and a stout blade, often an estoc and late 15thC in dating.
This piece is not based on any particular example but made in the style of existing pieces and sports a substantial broad but stiff blade.
Overall length 46"/117cm
blade length 36.25"/92cm
weight 3lbs9oz/1630g
POB 4"/10cm from guard
COP 26"/67cm
blade at guard 9 x50 mm
blade at 30cm 7x45mm
blade at 60cm 5.4x34mm
blade at 5cm from tip 4x16mm
I hope you like it.
Tod

Magnificent, Tod! My, my.
It has your style about it to be sure.
Thanks, Jon
A poorly maintained weapon is likely to belong to an unsafe and careless fighter.

Wow! Mr. Todeschini I hesitate to call anyone "gifted', especially when so much acquired skill is involved, but damn! You have a gift!
That is a stunning sword, and the detail in the tooling of the leather wrapped grip is too cool.
I seem to almost exclusively see the Type U pommel on swords from the UK, but maybe that's just my imagination, or perhaps the A&A "English Longsword" planted that notion in my mind.
Was that style more popular in the UK than on the Continent?
Curious...
