I'm not really getting a good sense of the scale of this thing. It looks like a pretty short sword to me, or maybe even a long dagger, but the hilt looks oddly small.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Source says the blade length is 58.4 cm
So a little less than a foot and a half.
Almost two feet, if Google's conversion thing is correct.
You just know some Indonesian prince put his dick tip in the mouth
honest question, is CE and BCE no longer the standard?
I use BCE and AD for stylistic reasons. Both BC/AD and BCE/CE are accepted in academia, and you'll still find both systems widely used (though generally not mixed, like I use them).
gotcha, thank you for the explanation
that like like you would risk losing jewels every time you used it
