Product description
The sword is a replica of a 9th-century Viking sword discovered in a burial mound (tumulus) at Kildonnan / Dail Sithean. The sword likely belonged to a Viking jarl from the upper ranks of the Viking elite. It is classified as a Petersen Type D. The luxurious grip indicates that the owner must have been exceptionally wealthy. A similar original has been found in Bjornsholm on Jutland, Denmark.
This Viking sword features a thin blade with a wide fuller. The crossguard and pommel are crafted from bronze and are richly decorated, whilst the grip is constructed from wood wrapped in beautifully aged brown leather. The sword comes with a scabbard, also richly decorated with copper fittings in Viking art style, and includes a belt loop so it may be worn on the belt.
