Product description

This replica sword is a stunning piece for any sword collection. It is based on a sword found in a ship burial near Uppsala, Sweden. Given the richness of its design, it almost certainly belonged to a chieftain, noble, or elite warrior. The Vendel Period occurred between the Migration Period and the Viking Age. Several similarly richly decorated swords have been found from this era.

The stylized rings on the upper crossguard possibly represent miniature versions of Germanic oath rings. Agreements based on oath-bound reciprocity played a central role in Germanic society, and these rings may symbolize the oath-bound relationship between a chieftain and his tribe. The grip of this spatha is crafted in the Germanic animal style, Style II/B and II/C.

This replica is made from 9260 carbon steel and features a broad fuller. The hilt is crafted from brass, with intricate Vendel-style decorations throughout. The pommel is cloisonné with red enamel. The sword comes with a brown leather scabbard with brass fittings.
