Length overall: 44"
Blade length: 36" (including the reinforcement at the base)
Hilt-spike: 3.5"
Weight: 2lb 4oz
Balances: 5" from the guard.
The holes are presumably to attach a lining/padding to the interior of the hilt.
These "staples" are peened over inside the hilt:
It looks like there's some sort of filling material in the spaces of the hilt.
The blade has 2 fullers, one wide, the other narrow, and a pronounced T spine.
There's a false edge about 9" long
The hilt is a little tight for my hand, but not to the point of making it unusable...
