Product description
This beautiful single-handed sword is based on an original now held in the collection of the British Museum in London. Found in 1825 in the River Witham near Lincoln, England, the knight's sword dates back to the 13th century. One of its most striking features is the inscription "+NDXOXCHWDRGHDXORVI+" inlaid with gold thread. Despite numerous attempts to decipher it, the meaning of this supposedly Latin acronym remains unclear to this day. The blade is wide and semi-sharp, with two deep fullers running almost its entire length. The inscription is engraved on one side of the fuller, mirroring the original, while the other side features a symbolic series of crosses, crescents, and stylized quatrefoils. The crossguard and pommel are made from steel with a full tang construction. The wooden grip is wrapped in brown leather. This medieval knight's sword comes with a brown wooden/leather scabbard with steel fittings, plus mounting rings for a sword belt.
