Product description

Norwegian archaeologist Jan Petersen established a classification system in 1919 (types A through Z) to date Viking swords based on their hilt. In the early Viking period (750-900) you see massive, three-lobed pommel with short cross-guards; in the heyday (850-950) richly decorated hilts with silver and copper inlay; in the late Viking period (950-1100) pommel become simpler and cross-guards longer, as a precursor to the arming sword. This sword follows type L: a triangular to pyramid-shaped pommel and a short, thick cross-guard. A streamlined design that fits the Viking swords from the English region in the 10th century.

The straight, double-edged blade of hardened EN45 spring steel (approx. 48-52 HRC) has a wide fuller. The grip is wrapped in red leather. Like many originals, the pommel is constructed from two parts: the continuous tang is riveted to the lower part and both parts are connected with two nails. The red, leather-clad wood scabbard has aged brass mouth, tip and strap loop.

This weapon is intended for collectors, as decoration and as a historical accessory for re-enactment and living history. The blade is not suitable for combat or sparring.
