My shotel for comparison
Here is shotel in my collection. It is a well-forged, double-sided sword 31 1/4 inches in length with a 27 inch curved blade. The blade is flat with diamond cross-section. The hilt is wooden with a copper disk at the pommel. The typically-colored red leather scabbard has decorative designs from top to bottom on both sides and is in good condition although very stiff.
