Product description
This Saxon single-handed sword is based on various (partly) preserved finds from the 5th and 6th centuries, the Migration Period. It is a classic example of the Germanic swords from this time, the direct predecessors of the later Viking sword.
The broad, straight blade of EN45 spring steel features a long, wide fuller. Like many originals, the pommel and cross-guard are built up from multiple layers: a wood interlayer between two cast brass parts, which creates a nice contrast. The sword comes with a black, leather-clad wooden scabbard with brass mouthpiece and tip.
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 fighting or sparring.
