Slotos, 1 year ago For example, www.clevelandart.org/art/1916.1589 It being from 16th century, it’s likely the heavier variant for cavalrymen (which the description kinda confirms). Even then it weighs only 1.6kg. Some sword examples: www.clevelandart.org/art/1916.1600. - 1.76kg www.clevelandart.org/art/1916.686 - 1.6kg www.clevelandart.org/art/1974.58 - 1.62kg www.clevelandart.org/art/1974.59 - rapier, 1.48kg www.clevelandart.org/art/1919.69 - 1.06kg www.clevelandart.org/art/1916.698 - 1.28kg www.clevelandart.org/art/1916.1099 - a very interesting case of 600g of weight www.clevelandart.org/art/1974.57 - 360g Note the years and descriptions on the lighter swords. They are more of an everyday tool for civilians at that point. A regular club competed with those, probably very successfully.
