A lovely looking creation as always however the hand grip is too short to be a bastard sword, it should be about 25% longer, just so one hand and a half can hold the grip with the rest of the hand enclosing part of the pommel.The pommel itself ought to be solid to provide counterweight to that awsome blade and thought needs to be applied to the point where pommel meets grip, it needs to be confortable enough to hold whilst wielding the balde two handed.That being said the sword as it stands is perfectly proportioned for a broad sword.My only real gripes with this sword are the hollow pommel as mentioned and the hilt crossbars where they joint the main body of the weapon. For some reason the hilt arms are attached through thin connections that will probably break or bend if the crossguard atttempts to catch another blade.So, all in all a beautiful piece that just needs a little extra attantion to real world physics to be perfect.
