12th Century Medieval Sword

12th Century Medieval Sword 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. 12th Century Medieval Sword comes complete with a scabbard made from wood then wrapped in leather with a solid steel end cap.
The original sword dates back to c. 1100 - 1250 Northern Europe and is featured in the Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow.
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.
