This exquisite example of an 8^th century Anglo-Saxon sword is based on the surviving parts of an original found in Fetter Lane, London in the 19^th century and now on display in the British Museum.

Such a highly crafted sword would be reserved for the elite of Anglo-Saxon society. The grip is decorated on both sides. On one side a spiral of four snakes separated by undulating leafy stems, the other a spread-eagled beast with gaping jaws in profile encircles its body with its zoomorphic tail, against a background of leafy shoots. The pommel cap, riveted into place like the original, features a central element decorated with a formalised tendril pattern, on one side alternating with bird heads. The hilt is constructed from antiqued brass with tin plated fittings that shine like silver. The blade was formed by twisting bars of steel around each other, welding the bars together by hammering and then repeating the process to create this distinct pattern.

The leather bound wooden scabbard features antiqued brass fittings and a suspension loop allowing it to be fastened to a belt of baldric.

During the Medieval and Renaissance periods weapons imported from Europe influenced Irish weapon design. However, the Irish introduced their own design features that are somewhat unique to Ireland. The most iconic of these is the “Ring Pommel” which shows the sword tang running through the middle of it. These swords were often finely made and were wielded by the might Gallowglass warriors.

This very Gothic and very German hand and a half sword is a reproduction of an iconic original from the collection of the Royal Armoury is dated to 1480 and was forged for a wealthy, but unknown individual. There are other examples of its type which have survived and the motif of using twisted branches or floral / wooded elements to style components of swords, knives and other weapons is shown in period art. This “Gothic Bough” stylization would have required a skilled bladesmith or cutler and was certainly a way to showcase one’s status if such a finely styled weapon could be afforded. These swords are not mere art pieces or fashion accessories, the surviving examples are well-crafted, well balanced and entirely deadly weapons. These swords are full of the Gothic character of the late Medieval Holy Roman Empire and its Principalities.

This reproduction from Deepeeka’s higher quality Primus line of swords has a blade forged from C60 high carbon steel (a steel similar to 1060) which was tempered to a 48-52 HRc hardness. The intricately writhen guard, pommel and grip ring are fashioned from bright brass to recreate the appearance of the original which had fittings of copper alloy which were gilt in gold. Like the original, the wooden grip is intricately and painstakingly carved in the likeness of a bundle of entwined branches. The grip is long enough to allow for a single or two handed grip for this bastard sword. Included with the sword is a scabbard of high quality craftsmanship which is made from wood and wrapped in tight, stitched leather and finished with brass Gothic decorative banding and chape.

This item is blunt and is for ornamental use only.

This beautiful medieval sword, which is decorated with symbols and coats of arms of the Knights Templar, is not an exact replica of a historical original, but rather a tribute to the Knights Templar. The double-edged carbon steel blade has a flattened, diamond cross-section and tapers evenly towards the tip. The cutting edges are not sharpened and the full tang is riveted to the pommel.

The two-handed sword features a wooden grip wrapped in black leather for a comfortable and secure hold. The crossguard and pommel are made of steel with an antique finish. The straight crossguard ends in stylised wolf heads, while the centre is adorned with a silver Templar cross on a red enamelled background. A particular highlight is the octagonal pommel. Its centre is adorned with a red enamelled coat of arms of the Knights Templar showing two knights on a horse. This motif is framed by the Latin inscription “MILITUM XPISTI SIGILLUM“, meaning “Seal of the Soldiers of Christ”.

The sword comes with a beautiful wooden scabbard covered in black leather. Two red leather straps with antique-finish brass buckles not only add decorative accents, but also allow for easy attachment to a sword belt. This medieval sword is designed as a collectors or decoration/display piece and, besides its quality as a collectible, is also perfectly suited as a prop, e.g. to complete your costume.
