Product description
The original Shrewsbury sword, an Oakeshott type XV, is now part of the Wallace Collection. Our sword is not an exact replica of that historical original. Instead, it draws on different parts of original late fourteenth century – early fifteenth century swords used at the Battle of Shrewsbury.
The Battle of Shrewsbury took place on July 21, 1403. King Henry IV of England triumphed over Sir Henry Percy of Northumberland, who had rebelled against his king along with the leader of the Welsh Revolt of 1400–1415.
This one-and-a-half sword, or bastard sword, is made from tempered EN45 spring steel. The pommel is riveted, and the grip features a wooden core wrapped in brown leather. A cross-guard with cross-shaped motifs and an octagonal scent-stopper pommel complete the design. The cross-guard measures about 23 cm long and 0.5 cm thick. The sword ships with a wooden scabbard covered in brown leather and fitted with steel scabbard tips.
