Product description
This beautiful knight's sword is a replica of a well-preserved find from the 13th century. The original was in the possession of the famous British collector and amateur armorialist Ewart Oakeshott for 50 years. He used the sword as a model for the type XIV in the classification of medieval swords that he developed. It was also he who gave this sword the name Moonbrand. Since 2002 it has been part of the collection of the Oakeshott Institute of Arms and Armor, founded by Oakeshott himself, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This replica has a wide, evenly tapered blade with 4 fullers. The edge is semi-sharp and the sword has a full tang construction. The grip consists of wood with light brown leather, a cross-guard bent towards the blade and a round pommel. Both the crossguard and the pommel are made of solid steel. The sword comes with a brown wooden/leather scabbard.Product details
