A saber from Veste Coburg’s collection. It features a copmlex hilt, much like a rapier of that time offering very good protections on the sides. I haven’t handled any two-handed swords with complex hilt yet but it seems like a nice addition to a simple quillon.
The stats of the original is unknown, and I did my best to gestimate: Overal length: 116cm Blade length: 93cm POB: 8.3cm Weight: 1583g
The original piece features very elaborate decorations on hilts and handles. I have to admit that I am unable to recreate these but the result still looks nice enough to me, still far away from a utilitarian sword.
Balefire Blades also did a reproduction of this as a training sword: https://balefireblades.com/2023/09/07/the-coburg-sabre/ You can potentially buy something similar!
