Hi Tinker! Welcome.

What little of the sword the image shows doesn't appear Medieval at all-- more likely Victorian. It would be interesting to see an overall shot at some point.

What strikes me is that the grip is apparently metal, and of one piece with the pommel, which is not something I have seen in a medieval sword in my somewhat limited experience.

This part disturbes me as well... A full picture would help much, as 740 g seems correct for a single-hand sword.
