draculaz, Your sword looks like it is well balanced, the handle may be slightly long. and the guard needs work. You might want to look at Mock's Sword in freestuff - I DL'd it for the John Carter Render and was really impressed with the look of it. I see a lot of swords like yours in free stuff. If you saw "The Three Musketeers" movie, (the one with Tim Currey as the Evil Cardinal Richalou(sp)) The musketeers sword in that movie is really impressive, or a Spanish Conquistador sword.(Don't see many of those.) - TJ
