Width of a spatha blade

The photo was taken in Schleswig, Nydam Hall.
Here you have everything.

As for the width I finally figured out correct numbers in the most simple way Big Grin
I took photo from Miks' book with cross-section under the blade. Knowing that cross section is 57,5mm I zoomed it so it's 57,5mm on my screen.
Then I measured width near the tip and at the broken place. Respectivly 37mm and 42mm.
But how to find out is these numbers are correct? I know that broken part is 265mm so I measured this part in the same zoom and it was 26-27cm so seems like everything fits.
