you can use a long sword equally well on nearly all of these. half swording is shown as well on horseback, even, and some of the pommel strikes to the face are more commonly shown with longer hilts. there is, however, a group of swords, often with fishtail pommels, that is sort of in the middle between longswords and arming swords, that are often used in depictions of st georges, st michaels and so forth. they would allow the use of two hands on the grip, yet are not a fully fledged longsword either. blade characteristics seem an ALMOST independent choice, so medieval blade lengths of single handed swords go all the way up to a metre, and weights, stiffnesses, blade sections and specialisations for thrusting or cutting, seem almost independently available for long and short hilted swords. some of the medieal ridged swords that seem particularly typical for 15th c mounted use, the originals are very heavy (i think up to 1800 grams) and long bladed, yet they are quite usable on horseback, as the movement of the horse aids in moving the heavy blade. so you can use a plethora of swords to do these techniques. the one i use in here happens to have the balance, centre of rotation, centre of percussion, balance point, overall weight and length (and grip length) pretty much exactly of an original in the Solingen exhibition. (1200 odd grams, 83 cm blade or something)

forgot to mention, the pommel strikes to the face from fiore are easier with long gripped swords, i should make more of these videos...
