The Wallace Sword
The Wallace Sword is a very large, two handed sword of a type that was not used until the late 15th century. In Wallace's time, swords were much smaller and for use with one hand. Although this suggests that the sword in the monument is a fake, close inspection reveals that it may be made up from pieces of different swords fitted together. Part of this could have come from a smaller single handed sword.
