Product description
This beautiful spatha is a replica of an early Saxon sword found in 1961. The original, dated to the 4th-5th century, was found in the hypocaust (underfloor warm air heating system) of a Roman villa in Feltwell near Norfolk, England. Archaeologists believe the Feltwell Sword came to England with the first Anglian settlers. This reconstruction of the Saxon one-handed sword features a blade approximately 61 cm long with a wide fuller and unsharpened cutting edges. Made from smooth horn, the hilt delivers a secure and comfortable grip. The pommel and crossguard are built from riveted brass plates with a wooden disc in the middle. The sword comes with a brown wood/leather scabbard complete with a throat and chape. For easy transport, the scabbard includes a practical metal belt loop that fits belts about 5 cm wide. This Roman sword is designed as a collector's or decoration/display piece. Beyond its value as a collectible, it works perfectly as a prop to complete your costume.
