German military sword
This long, double-edged blade with a sharp rounded point is
mounted with a hilt that has slightly curved quillons. The heavy
pear-shaped pommel is invariably larger toward the top, designed to
balance the weapon as it would have allowed the wielder to
swing the sword with incredible force. The grip is quite long,
designed to accommodate both hands which would have been required
to wield it.
