, it sounds strange that the blade is 77.5 cm and the hilt only 6 cm. Try to measure the width of your own hand – mine is 11 cm.

Scaling the picture up... the distance between the cross guard and pommel is approx. 10cms.
Still, as Lens has pointed out, seems strange that the Medieval period lasted so long and the seller cannot measure (or type?) accurately. However it looks more convincing than the other 'crusader' swords we have seen
