Product description

This beautiful decorative sword is a replica of a well-preserved sword recovered from the Viking town of Haithabu. The original is now on display at the Hedeby Viking Museum.

The sword is classified as a Petersen Type K, a type that was made around the second half of the 9th century AD. Around this time, Haðabu (or Haithabu) developed into one of the most important North European trading cities. The city was renowned for its wealth, and this sword likely belonged to one of its rich merchants or aristocrats.

The sword features a brass cross-guard and pommel. The cross-guard is short and adorned with figurative decorations, while the five-lobed pommel is richly decorated with knot motifs and other early medieval decorative patterns. Both the grip and scabbard are made of beautiful reddish-brown leather. The scabbard is also extensively decorated, with a brass chape, scabbard fittings at the throat, and a brass belt loop. These decorations feature Viking art motifs typical of the 9th century.
