Popular accounts sometimes assign two-handed swords weights of 8–10 kilograms. A museum collection offers a concrete counterexample: a Wallace Collection two-handed sword dated about 1450 weighs 2.892 kilograms. One object cannot establish the weight of every sword or a maximum record, but it shows how 8–10 kilograms can exaggerate the weight of practical weapons.
