But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."

    Hmm well in that case I would guess 0.225 as IIRC all long/broad swords are this regradless of being mounted/dismounted.
