I extrapolate from my experience. We have two sword in one of our museums. (I mean we, the hungarians) Blades almost identical, rather large btw, BUT one has a single-hand hilt, and the other a clearly two-handed one. Not even a bastard grip. I don't want to meet the wielder of the one-handed version. Both are battle-worn, so they're not decoratives.
This simply means that there are, were, and will be huge mooonster out there. And after a time, you can't swing a sword any faster regardless of blade weight... as your body-muscles-joints-teldons are the limiters. I mean, I can swing MY longsword as fast as I can the others... only difference is that mine is 6 pounds and the others are less than 4.
Never mind this; they are just too huge, not correct, don't worth a penny, and I'd love to dispose them. MYSELF.
