Enjoy Aislinn Knight's Sword with Scabbard, 15th Century.

Aislinn knight's sword with scabbard, 15th century



This beautiful knightly sword is based on an original housed in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The sword received its name “aislinn,” meaning vision or dream in Irish, from a previous curator. The sword, classified by Oakeshott as Type XV, dates to the 15th century. However, this timing is often questioned. It is thought that it could also be a 19th-century forgery, as the sword’s hilt is almost perfectly preserved, while the blade shows strong signs of unmatched corrosion.



This replica has a double-edged blade that tapers sharply towards the tip. About one-third of its length is grooved and the cutting edges are unsharpened. The handle section consists of two black horn plates riveted to the full-length blade tang. The guard, curved towards the blade, and the disc pommel are made of bronze.



The sword is delivered with a brown wooden/leather scabbard with a black chapeau and mouth strap and a sturdy leather belt. The end of the strap and the belt buckle are made of brass and decorated with a dragon and lion motif on a red background.



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