Moonbrand knight's sword with scabbard, 13th century



This beautiful knightly sword is a replica of a well-preserved find dating back to the 13th century. The original was in the possession of the well-known british collector and amateur weapons expert ewart oakeshott for 50 years. The sword served as his model for the type xiv classification of medieval swords that he developed. It was also he who gave this sword the name moonbrand . Since 2002 it has been part of the collection of the oakeshott institute of arms and armor in minneapolis, minnesota, founded by oakeshott himself.



This reconstruction has a broad blade that tapers evenly towards the tip and has four points on both sides. The cutting edges are not sharpened and the continuous tang of the blade is riveted to the pommel. The handle consists of a wooden grip with a light brown leather sheath, a crossguard curved towards the blade and a generous disc pommel. The guard and pommel are made of solid steel.



The sword is delivered with a brown wooden/leather scabbard.
