The sword attributed to Wallace on display in the Wallace Monument in Stirling is 163 cm in overall length, with a blade of 132cm.

Note that it is exceptionally unlikely that the sword was ever even touched by Wallace; The style of sword is very easily identified as one from the second half of the 16th century, not the late 13th century. Furthermore, it was not attributed to Wallace untill 1803. Although there are records of a sword attributed to Wallace from the early 17th century, we have no identification of whether that was the sword now attributed to Wallace.

There is however a very slight possibility that part of the blade of the Wallace sword, (which has been welded together from several broken peices) is of older origin, in which case it may be that part of the blade was from a 13th century weapon, which could have been associated with Wallace - but any metalurgical analysis which could prove the origin of the blade is unlikely to ever take place, and even if it is, it is impossible that any association could be proven.
