Product description
The beautiful one-handed sword from the Viking Age is a replica of a find discovered in 1949 at the archaeological site of Gn?zdovo near Smolensk, Russia, during the excavation of burial mound L-13. Dated between 920 and 950 AD and classified as Type E2 according to the Petersen typology for Viking swords, the original piece was broken in two and found stuck in the ground. The original featured a blade with the stylised representation of a man on one side, and on the other a spiral framed by two crosses, both of which are engraved upon the replica sword. Particularly distinctive is the pommel with its beautiful symmetrical patterns. The sword is crafted from 1060 carbon steel and is semi-sharp. It comes with a leather scabbard and beautiful early medieval brass decorations. A fine addition for lovers of the Rusvik Vikings!
