Concerning the one-handed silver sword, I have searched in vain for the specs of the weapon. Specifically I would like to know the speed and reach of it. I appreciate any information you can contribute.
Sorry, I don't know those specific answers. I can tell you what is available in the wiki, which is that the damage of silver swords and great swords is 8 and 17 respectively and that they do an additional 20 points damage to werewolves and undead. They cannot be crafted and they cannot be improved, nor can the undead damage bonus be learned from disenchanting. The weapons themselves can be enchanted, however. If you are the PC, there are several mods that allow you to improve Silver at grindstones like most other weapons.
