it would help a lot to help you ( 
) if you gave some more information about your blade. so: where is it from, is it publicated etc...
the relations of measures alone won`t help you much as long as you don`t know which type of blade it is.
for example: it doesn`t help you to compare a long, narrow, heavily tapering blade from the beginnig of the 3rd. century AD with a broad parallel-edged one from the 5th... if you use measures in between these extremes you might get a "bastard" that must not necessarily resemble anything real
I suppose your blade is a find from Nydam or Vimose. do you have a find-number or something that would help to research any further?
