The Zweihänder could be up to 180 cm (6 ft) long from the base of
the pommel to the tip of the blade, with a
120–150 cm (4–5 ft) blade and 30–45 cm (1–1½ ft)
hilt. The weight could range between
2 kg and 3.2 kg (4½–7 lb). However, a ceremonial Zweihänder,
which was unsuitable for combat, could weigh up to
7 kg (16 lb).
Some were shorter, though. Earlier versions, in particular, often had an
overall length of about 150 cm (5 ft), weighing as little as
1½ kg (3 lb 5 oz).
