12th Century Medieval Sword
|
12th Century Sword -(Original: c. 1100 - 1250 Northern
Europe, Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow.)
A well known leading expert on medieval swords comments that the original could
be from as early as 1100 to as late as 1250. The pommel, a faceted wheel, is
a shape encountered in the Leppaho Viking swords, a group of swords excavated
from Viking graves dating from 980-1000.
The crossguard is of an early form, which the Vikings referred to as Gaddhjalt
[spike hilt].
The blade is designed for the cutting style of fighting used during this period
and has a fuller running 2/3 the length of the blade.
Features: A hardwood handle, wrapped in leather
The cross guard and pommel are solid steel, polished and fitted onto a full
tang that is peened at top of the pommel for strength and durability. And
is how many of the originals were fitted.
The scabbard is made from wood then wrapped in leather with a solid steel end
cap. |
