Product description

In the early 1970s, around 80 medieval swords were found in the Dordogne, a river near the town of Castillon-la-Bataille, France. This find, known as the "Castillon Group", consisted of several arming swords and longswords with very similar hilts. These swords are tied to the Battle of Castillon — a decisive French victory that marked the end of the Hundred Years´ War (1337 – 1453) between France and England. The swords were either part of an English supply effort before the battle, or French battlefield loot captured afterward. During transport, the barge wrecked and sank to the bottom of the river. The originals are now on display in museums or held in private collections. This sword is a reconstruction of one of those Castillon swords. It features a double-edged blade that tapers sharply toward the tip. The one-handed sword has a short fuller, and the cutting edges are unsharpened. The black leather-wrapped wooden grip ends in a disk-shaped pommel with a raised, blue circular accent on both sides. The ends of the steel crossguard are bent toward the blade. The sword comes complete with a blue wood-and-leather scabbard fitted with a steel chape, plus a sword belt made from sturdy black leather. Adjust the belt to your size using the pre-punched holes. Designed as a collector's or display piece, it also works great as a costume prop.
