Hersir Viking Sword

Our Hersir Viking Sword is a historically accurate replica of a Viking Sword. This style of Viking era sword is referred to as a Type H hilt in Petersen's Typology and has a triangular pommel. It seems this type is typically thought to have been found extensively in Norway, but as far south as Switzerland and Yugoslavia, and that the type H seems to have been in use around the late 8th c. to into the 10th. 

The Hersir Viking Sword features a pommel and upper guard made in two parts, riveted together, with a twisted wire between the pommel and upper guard. The high carbon steel blade is housed in a leather and wood scabbard.
