Do you have any sources on profile and taper to establish the outlines in this piece? I have found frustratingly little information on such things.

Not sure if this helps for what you're doing Timothy but I have drawings on my site for quite a few blades. Please have a browse through my drawings and maybe they can give you a starting point. The sword of Tiberius drawing is a good Mainz example and the blade geometries are a good overall description of profile and distal tapers.
