Product description
The beautiful spatha is a replica of an early Saxon sword found in 1961. The original, dated to the 4th-5th century, was discovered in the hypocaust (underfloor warm air heating system) of a Roman villa in Feltwell near Norfolk, England. Archaeologists believe the Feltwell Sword came to England with the first Anglian settlers. This fine reconstruction of the Saxon one-handed sword features an approx. 61 cm blade with a wide fuller and unsharpened cutting edges. The hilt is crafted from smooth horn and offers a secure and comfortable grip. Pommel and crossguard are constructed from riveted brass plates with a wooden disc in the middle. The sword comes with a brown wood/leather scabbard with a throat and chape. For easy transportation, the scabbard is equipped with a practical metal belt loop, which is well-suited to belts with a width of approx. 5 cm. The sword has been designed as a collector's or decoration/display piece and, besides its quality as a collectible, is also particularly well-suited as a prop, e.g. to complete your costume.
