Product description

The sword is a replica of a 15th-century Irish original. It was employed by the Scottish-Irish Galloglass (Galloglaich). Galloglaich were mercenaries of Scottish-Irish descent who fought from the 13th century until the 16th century in the many Scottish and Irish wars against the English and amongst themselves. The original swords can be seen in several 15th-century Irish drawings and prints. Several similar originals are nowadays part of the collection of the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. The sword features an Irish ring pommel and a striking wide blade. It was primarily utilised for hewing.
