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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deepeeka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54134800417096,"sku":"116706501","price":336.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2892\/7560\/files\/0116706501_schwert_wikingerschwert_lederscheide_typ_petersen_mittelalter.jpg?v=1790318337","url":"https:\/\/www.celticwebmerchant.co.uk\/products\/deepeeka-vikingzwaard-met-schede-petersen-type-r-10e-eeuw-semi-scherp","provider":"Celtic WebMerchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
