Center of gravitiy of 17th century swords

Thank you both for your answers and clarifications. I would also associate the phrase "small sword" with a slim bladed weapon designed mainly for thrust. Anyway, I´ll attach an image of the piece.
It has a quite heavy hilt but a relatively flat (6.2mm) blade. Of course this affects the center of gravity so I was wondering if this is still within the common range.
Sorry, I dont have a weighing scale to tell you the weight

Kind regards
Andreas
