I wonder if what we are looking at is a prototype or early version of a cast sword. It lacks the pointy end that we think of as "sword' but having a weighty end does have some design value. You would build up more momentum as you swing it and hit your target with more kinetic energy than you would with a blade that has a lighter tapered end. There is nothing to say that the sword evolved from the spear and started out with a stabbing end. It isn't a stretch to think that the sword evolved from the club, instead. I think that this is the great Bronze Sword Mark I.
