Finally.
My Spatha is complet.
Biborski classifies it as Nydam-Kragehul, subtype 2 in his "Illerup Adal"; Miks as a Straubing-Nydam type.
Find has 720mm blade + 113mm grip; 57,5mm width
What is understable is that the grip is too short for XXI century people therefore it had to be overlong to 160mm.
As you can see, the grip is made from bronze. Unfortunately I couldn't get bronze grip. Nevertheless my wood/brass grip is based 100% on the bronze one.
If you take a look at the closer picks, you will notice beatiful texture of the metal. 100% forged.
