Knight's sword of Saint Annen with scabbard, 12th century

The model of the one-handed sword offered here is an original piece from the 12th century and now part of the collection of the St. Annen Museum in Lübeck.

The double-edged, one-handed knight's sword, classified Oakeshott Type XII, has the typical features of early medieval swords. It has a wide, evenly tapered EN45 spring steel blade that is grooved for approximately two-thirds of its length. The cutting edges are unsharpened, and the continuous tang of the blade is riveted to the pommel. The handle consists of a steel crossguard, a leather-covered, wooden-cored grip, and a bronze disc pommel topped with a steel rivet block.

This decorative and economical one-handed sword comes with a light brown wood/leather scabbard that matches the color of the handle.

This medieval sword is designed as a collectible or decorative object. It's also ideal as an accessory, for example to complete your costume, and will make your transformation into a noble knight simply perfect.
