Hand-and-Half Sword

This sword was modeld after a sword from the 1500's that is on display in the Philadephia Museum of Art. It is not an exact replica, but I really liked the proportions and thought it would make a great piece to model in Blender. "This is one of the finest knightly swords surviving from the late fifteenth century. Particularly outstanding are the mighty forms and harmonious proportions of its pommel and blade, the embellishment of the latter with delicate etched and gilt ornaments, and the overall condition of the entire sword, which retains its original velvet-covered grip." -PMA
