Product description

This beautiful one-handed sword from the Viking Age is a replica of a find discovered in 1949 at the archaeological site of Gnёzdovo 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 had a blade with the stylized representation of a man on one side, on the other a spiral framed by two crosses, which are engraved with the replica sword. Unique is the pommel with beautiful symmetrical patterns. This sword is made of 1060 carbon steel and is semi-sharp. The sword comes with a leather scabbard and beautiful early medieval brass decorations. An asset for lovers of the Rusvik Vikings!
