Gammelt Jern knight's sword with scabbard, 13th century



This beautiful one-handed sword is a replica of one of the best preserved medieval swords. The original was owned by E. A. Christensen, a well-known Danish sword collector. The drawings he made of the medieval sword are by A. B. Hoffmeyer and were published in the book “Gammelt Jern” (No. 66, p. 88), published in 1968. It is classified as type XIV according to the Oakeshott typology and dates from between 1275 and 1340.
The exact location of the original sword is unknown, it is now housed in the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.



The sword has a broad, double-edged blade that tapers towards the tip. Two deep grooves run almost the entire length of the blade and the edges are not sharpened. The crossguard is slightly curved and the wooden handle wrapped in red leather ends in a faceted-cut K-shaped pommel. In addition, the center of the pommel has a red circular accent on both sides.



The sword is delivered with a red wooden and leather scabbard with a brass plate and a beautiful, sturdy leather belt. The belt can be adjusted to different sizes thanks to the floral-look brass eyelets.



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