Product description

The 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 Age (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 Age (950-1100) pommel become simpler and cross-guards longer, as a prelude to the arming sword. This sword follows type R: a broad, massive pommel, often triangular or trapezoidal, with a short cross-guard and a compact style from the late Viking Age.

The inspiration is a type R sword that is kept in Stockholm. Characteristic are the five-lobed pommel, the curved cross-guard and the richly decorated hilt mount with Norse motifs. The double-edged blade is made of carbon steel. The sword comes with a matching blue, leather-clad wood scabbard.

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.
