Specification:

Sarmatian / Scythian iron sword, with wooden standard. 

THE PRIMARY PRESTIGE WEAPON OF THE ANCIENT SARMATIAN/SCYTHIAN WARRIORS OF THE BLACK SEA REGION.

The Sarmatians were a large confederationof ancient Eastern Iranian equestrian nomadic peoples who dominated the Pontic-Caspian steppe from about the 3rd century BC to the 4th century AD (The Pontic–Caspian Steppe, extending across Eastern Europe to Central Asia).

Originating in the central parts of the Eurasian Steppe, the Sarmatians were part of the wider Scythian cultures. They started migrating westward around the fourth and third centuries BC, coming to dominate the closely related Scythians by 200 BC. At their greatest reported extent, around 100 BC, these tribes ranged from the Vistula River to the mouth of the Danube and eastward to the Volga, bordering the shores of the Black and Caspianseas as well as the Caucasus to the south.

In the first century AD, the Sarmatians began encroaching upon the Roman Empire in alliance with Germanic tribes. In the third century AD, their dominance of the Pontic Steppe was broken by the Germanic Goths.
