14th century type XVI based on sword from Oakeshott book page 149.
Very unique sword, due to the slightly bent tang.
According to Oakeshott this was intentional in the manufacture of this sword.
I also agree that the bend could not have been caused by damage.
It was probably very personalized to the person who ordered it.
This is also confirmed by the asymmetrical shape of the crossguard.
Very comfortable because of this detail.
