Wallace's sword (the actual sword) which is on display in Scotland weighs 6 pounds.

Thanks. I hadn't seen the earlier thread and I see where ARMA is mentioned at least once. I have seen video of some of the sparring they do and it is a real eye-opener. They base their technique on surviving training manuals and combat with medieval swords is MUCH different from what we see on TV or in movies. Wallace was reputed to be a very great swordsman. Being able to wield such a large weapon with exceptional skill would have made him very deadly on the battlefield.
