Product description

This 9th-century Viking sword was discovered in a burial mound (tumulus) at Kildonnan / Dail Sithean. It likely belonged to a Viking jarl from the upper echelon of the Viking elite, and is classified as a Petersen Type D. The luxurious grip indicates the owner must have been exceptionally wealthy. A similar original has been found in Bjornsholm on Jutland, Denmark.

The sword features a thin blade with a wide fuller. The cross-guard and pommel are made from bronze and richly decorated, while the grip is crafted from wood wrapped in beautifully aged brown leather. It comes with a scabbard, also richly decorated with copper fittings in Viking art style. A built-in belt loop lets you wear it on your belt.
