Length
editThe article currently says "would have originally measured about 76 centimetres". What does this mean? Has a part broken off? What length is it now? How do you know what the original length might have been? --BjKa (talk) 10:03, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- I can't say for certain, but I think they only found the blade - I think the estimate length includes an estimation of the length of the hilt included based on the length of the blade for the typical design of the time. Miyagawa (talk) 18:47, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
