Does anyone have good measurements or weights for the two bronze swords found with the Nebra Sky Disk? They are heart-achingly beautiful, and I want to make one, but I’d rather have nice measurements than measure and extrapolate from photographs.
The disk is apparently around 30 cm across, and both blades look to be a bit longer than that, so I’m guessing maybe 33-35 cm blades and ~45 cm overall??

Hey thank you! This is very helpful. I found a drawing showing a side view, and some software that will let me get reasonably close measurements based on photos.
Any more information is encouraged!
