Product description

This beautiful sword is a replica of an original Germanic sword found in Nydam Bog (Nydam Mose), an archaeological site near Sønderborg, Denmark. Even during the Scandinavian Iron Age, this was considered a sacred place where weapons and boats were offered in thanks for victories over enemies. It was used for centuries by the Germanic peoples as a sacrificial bog between 240 and 480 AD, and a large number of archaeological finds have been made there since the 18th century.

During excavations by Danish archaeologist Conrad Engelhardt between 1859 and 1863, not only the famous Nydam boat was discovered, but also a large number of weapons. The Danish National Museum, which continued excavations in 1989, uncovered even more weapons, including swords, spears, and lances. Among these historic finds is the original of this sword, which is now part of the collection at the Archaeological Museum in Gottorf Castle in Schleswig, Germany.

This exquisite reconstruction of the Germanic sword features a blade approximately 74 cm long with two fullers and unsharpened edges. The full tang of the blade is screwed into the pommel. The wooden hilt ensures a secure and comfortable grip. The oval, flattened pommel and the crossguard are also made of wood. The sword comes with a brown wood/leather scabbard with a throat and chape. For easy carrying, the scabbard is equipped with a practical wooden belt loop, suitable for belts approximately 5 cm wide.
