The reconstruction that we offer here is made with a blade in high carbon steel 1060 tempered with a double straight edge with wide, long, fuller and unsharpened edges. The engravings are reproductions of the markings found on the original blade. The hilt is made up of a short brass guard, a wooden grip heavily bound in brown leather, and a generously sized brass pommel. Here, too, the guard and pommel faithfully recreate the pattern that adorns the original artifact. In this case, the guard and pommel are hollow and drilled to facilitate threading of wire clippings.
This early medieval one-handed sword comes complete with a fitted brown leather and wood scabbard with antique brass neck, cape and clasp (maximum belt width 6cm).
Please note that this medieval sword is NOT a battle ready weapon. It is designed as a collector's, decorative or display item and is not suitable for combat reenactment. In addition to its quality as a collectible, it is also perfectly suited as an accessory, for example to complete your medieval costume.

This beautiful one-handed Viking sword is a reproduction of a find discovered in 1949 at the Gnёzdovo archaeological complex near Smolensk, Russia, during the excavation of L-13 burial mound. Dating between 920 and 950 AD, and classified as Type E2 according to Petersen's Viking sword typology, the original piece was found split in two and stuck in the ground.
Like many historical examples of the period, the pommel is a two-part construction: the full tang of the blade is anchored to the lower section, and the pommel cap is secured to the base by means of two rivets. Both components of the pommel are visually separated by a twisted wire knotted on one side. Between the three segments of the lid, there are also gaps inlaid with twisted wire.
On one side, the blade had a stylized representation of a man, and on the other side, a spiral framed by a pair of crosses. But what really made this sword stand out was its finely crafted hilt with elaborate cellular ornamentation: the guard and pommel were adorned with round pits that were arranged in lines. Slots embedded with twisted wires connected these gaps together, forming a lattice-like checkered pattern.
