Check the hilt and the blade of the arming sword.
It's not a viking sword, although the pommel is a bit similar to one

Yeah, viking swords are the direct precursors of arming swords, so fo course they look similar (in fact, imo the one on the left in your picture is an arming sword).

Ignoring the slender, tapered blade, look at the pointed quillons and the unpartitioned pommel on the Knightly Arming Sword.

I think what we have in crpg is somewhere between these two:

I agree the pommel is not accurate for the blade type, but whatevs.  There was a great variety of pommels back in the day, so who knows.

How great would it be to prep an over head then just donk someone in the face instead.

like 14 blunt dmg or something.
Fammi un pompino!

Good news everybody! It's not nut cancer :)
Bad news everybody, I got dumped :(
