Acquire 15th Century Longsword, Windlass

15th century longsword, windlass



The longsword, often called a hand-and-a-half sword, was often used as a weapon of war, but also as a civilian self-defense weapon. Combined with a dagger, the longsword was an excellent means of defense against highwaymen, robbers, foot soldiers, assassins, and even against some bands of thieves roaming the countryside. Its well-adapted point allowed it to be used as a stabbing weapon, and its moderate weight made it easy to handle and carry. This weight also allowed it to be wielded with one hand while holding a dagger in the other. If necessary, it can also be wielded with both hands to deliver a very powerful blow. It is a beautiful and highly functional sword with a steel pommel and guard. The handle is made of wood and wrapped with leather and wire.
