How heavy do you plan on making your sword?
I'm guessing the average bastard sword might come in at between 2.5 to 3.5 lbs?
-plain J-hooks made out of 1/8" mild steel would be more than strong enough (-heck, picture hooks would be strong enough).
-same procedure as drawing out and forming an S-hook, except instead of forming hooks on both ends of the steel, you draw the other end into a point and bend the stem at a square angle so you can pound the spike into the wall and have the hook below it. (if you need a picture i can post one tomorrow)
-or instead of forming a spike on the opposite end, you could drill a hole through it to drive a nail and nail it to your wall.
-make a pair of matching hooks and you could display your sword at whatever angle you like.
