Moonbrand knight's sword with scabbard, 13th century
This beautiful knight's 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 he developed. He also 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 toward the tip and has four points on both sides. The cutting edges are unsharpened, and the blade's continuous tang is riveted to the pommel. The handle consists of a wooden grip with a light brown leather sheath, a crossguard curved toward the blade, and a generous disc pommel. The guard and pommel are made of solid steel.
The sword comes with a brown wooden/leather sheath.
This medieval sword is designed as a collector's item or decorative object. It's also ideal as an accessory, for example, to complete your costume.
