Oliver Cromwell's Sword

Oliver Cromwell (1599 – 1658) was a prominent and powerful figure during and after the English Civil War. He began his career as a simple MP but rose to become a general and eventually Lord Protector. His sword, which he is said to have carried at the Battle of Drogheda in 1649, is remarkably well preserved and can now be admired as a permanent exhibit in the Royal Armouries collection at Leeds. Hanwei’s Cromwell sword is a very faithful copy. The typical basket style with blackened guard and gilt trim is as faithful to the original as is the sharkskin-wrapped handle. In the absence of the original scabbard, this was modelled on the typical style of the period.

A must-have for any lover of English history.
