Product description
This beautiful knight's sword was part of the collection of Comte de Nieuwerkerke, a French sculptor and art collector. The sword is now in the Wallace Collection in London, though its original provenance is unknown. It was likely found in France — pronounced corrosion marks point to a river find. The Oakeshott typology classifies it as Type XV, dating it to approximately 1350–1400. That dating places the sword squarely in the Hundred Years' War between France and England. This replica features a semi-sharp blade that tapers sharply toward the tip. The hilt includes a crossguard curved toward the blade, a wooden grip wrapped in brown leather, and a pommel with a round recess in the middle. It comes with a brown wooden/leather scabbard.
