Salve,

Can anyone give me the exact length of this sword, with and without the tang. I have the Miks books but my limited German means that I am getting confused.

Vale et gratis,

Celer.

I had a look in Miks, and my German wasn't good enough either...... Cry

Wow, very big blade :o

I think 673 mm and 535 mm or 67,3cm and 53,5cm

67.3cm = 26,5"
53,5cm = 21,06"
