Wow, that is much more bronze/brass than the other pictures look. Very nice! The classic black wire wrap w/bronze fittings reminds me of the 'classic' excalibur.
Sir Edward:
I think that can be arranged. :)
It handles surprisingly well for being a "movie sword", but it's definitely on the heavy side. The blade is fairly thick at the base, and there's no fuller. The heavy pommel and a good distal taper do help to keep it balanced, and the center of gravity is actually fairly close to the guard. So you don' t notice the weight until you start swinging it.

Very interesting, I sort of figured that would be the case given with the specification you gave. But I am surprised none the less. :)
Sir William:
That is a good look on you, Sir Edward. What material are your pants made of? Is that leather? Love the sword, but you'd known that would happen.
