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 ranks of the Viking elite, and is classified as a Petersen Type D. The luxurious grip suggests 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 crossguard and pommel are made from bronze and richly decorated, while the grip is made from wood wrapped in beautifully aged brown leather. It comes with a scabbard — also richly decorated with copper fittings in Viking art style — and includes a belt loop so you can wear it on your belt.
