*Editor's Note: Measurements for this Xiphos are given at between 50cm - 60cm; though no further clarification is provided. While this would not usually be enough data for me to give this specimen a place in the museum images of genuine historic Xiphos swords are so incredibly rare I have decided to waive normal requirements in this instance.
We can probably presume the blade length 50cm and the overall length is 60cm (making the hilt 10cm overall) until I can obtain more information about this important sword.
