My very rough calculations using 85kg as an average adult weight, results in 153gr of iron
My problem is, that i dont have any expectations as to how heavy a longsword is but i'd assume it to be a lot heavier!
After further research it looks like the more appropriate number of humans needed to make an average longsword would be closer to 25.000
Males of average height have about 4 grams of iron in their body, females about 3.5 grams; children will usually have 3 grams or less
300 * 3g = 900g.
300 * 4,5g = 1350g

and weighing approximately 1 to 1.5 kg
It's close enough, I'd say. OP's maths that is.

Correcting just so that others would understand
Akshually Chingis is much closer to the mongolian pronunciation. 😁
