I'd say it looks very good. Thank you!

Now that is a pretty dandy piece of weaponary there. I really love the hilt. I however cannot place who built their swords as such. Only a few European races built their swords with the blade at the tip and an area on the blade where it the sword could be held by the hand for two handed assisted blocking or for blocking so that the blade would not be knicked in combat. I think it was north european clans but I have not read up on the subject in years. The swords were not this elaborate however this is a very cool model.

Ahh found it. It seems that some long swords of mid and north Europe during the crusades.

Teph: It was designed by Gil Hibben for the original Conan movie as the "Atlantean Sword"...

Ahhh. Cool. I was just looking at the overall design. Not many nations in history designed their swords with metal mass at the base of the blade for two handed weilding and use of as tools.

Actually the sword was designed by Ron Cobb, along with many of the costumes,sets, and other swords. Jody Sampson made the actual sword along with a little help, at: http://www.albionarmorers.com/swords/conanframe.htm you can find out more about the movie swords and others that Albion makes, it's too bad the Conan Sword isn't more affordable.

Ah, sorry. I thought it had been Gil Hibben. My bad.

Tephladon, German and Swiss "landsknecht" troops in the 1500s used a two-hander of the flamberge design used to break pike formations. This sword had a leather-wrapped section near the hilt that could be used to shorten the grip.
