Re: i want this sword.
Armor.com seems the guts of a link you want. I searched "two handed sword for sale arms armour" and got there.
http://armor.com/sword156.html looks to be in the neighborhood -- nearly five feet overall and six pounds and an ounce.

They do Custom work often. They did a beautiful Swiss Saber a while back.

Re: i want this sword.
Its slenderness looks faintly estoc-ish, but it may simply be that this is quite a late twohander sword that isn't a Zwei mit Parierhaken. Don't believe estocs had that length of grip. They became increasingly like armor piercing rapiers as they developed.

I've seen milanese tuck/estoc with triangle-section blade and a longer grip than that one.Konstantin the Red wrote: Don't believe estocs had that length of grip. They became increasingly like armor piercing rapiers as they developed.

Re: i want this sword.
Some folks here already know, and I am taking the risk of looking like an idiot again, but, well, it's a feeling that I am familiar with.
That is Figure 37, plate 2, page 27, from Stone's Glossary. According to the note, it's in the Metropolitan Museum. I am not positive that "Plate" is the right word there. Figure 37 shows two photos, and it is the second photo in the figure.
