From a number of publications:

"Hidden in a necropolis situated high in the mountains of the Caucasus in Russia, researchers have discovered the grave of a male warrior laid to rest with gold jewelry, iron chain mail and numerous weapons, including a 36-inch iron sword set between his legs."

The grave included two swords, one 36 inches in length and one 19 inches long (though no reference as to whether this describes the overall length or just the blade), an iron axe, and two bronze helmets.
