Pouan sword help
#16
The Ring found at the Burial has the name "Heva" on it which is a Burgundian or Gothic name. The latter has always seemed less likely IMO, but yes this sword could also be Gothic.

Just a note about behmer's book: a great one, indeed, but it seems there is some problems with graves repports.
I think about Flonheim and Altenerding, that i had to buy the original repports to find out some details i needed.
perhaps the problem comes from the Museum's shows at the moment of the book's redaction..?

The handle seems hexagonal, on the photos it didn't seems to be a result of the corrosion and disappearance of the organic materials (?).

Thomas V, thank you very much for the photo of Tournai, is really enlightening and the Behmer's text.

Please, can anyone help me telling me the weight of the Pouan sword and the width measure of the lame where begins the curvature of the point?
Thank you

I think Robert Wimmers knows it. He sent me the info on length and weight and whatnot once in an email which I no longer have.

If you can find the total length you can use some basic math to find the rest of the measurments.
