This beautiful spathe is a replica of an early Saxon sword found in 1961. The original, dating from the 4th and 5th centuries, was found in the hypocaust , an underground boiler room, of a Roman villa at Feltwell, near Norfolk, England. Archaeologists believe the Feltwell sword was brought to England by the first Anglo-Saxon settlers.

This beautiful reconstruction of a Saxon one-handed sword has a blade approximately 61 cm long with a wide kerf and unsharpened cutting edges. The handle section is made of smooth horn and offers a secure and comfortable grip. The pommel and crossguard consist of riveted brass plates enclosing a wooden disc in the middle.

The one-handed sword comes with a brown wooden/leather scabbard with a stance and muzzle plate. To make carrying the sword easier, the scabbard also features a practical metal belt loop, suitable for belts with a width of approximately 1.5 m.

This Roman sword is designed as a collector's item or decorative object and is also ideal as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.
