Product description
The sword is a replica of the 13th century original owned by the well-known English knight Sir William Marshall. Sir William Marshall is buried in Temple Church in London, whilst his sword forms part of the collection of the British Museum.
This fine sword has been carefully handcrafted with attention to all small details. It is constructed from damast steel and features a double-edged blade. The sword is classified as an Oakeshott type XII according to the Oakeshott sword typification. It was a modern sword for its era, provided with a sharper tip than its predecessors (Oakeshott type X and XI). As a result, the sword was able to pierce through hauberks with greater ease.

The sword is supplied complete with a scabbard.
