Acquire Early Viking Godfred Sword With Scabbard

Early Viking godfred sword with scabbard
The original of this beautiful reconstruction belonged to the feared Danish king Godfred (also called Gudfred or Gudrød ). Godfred lived at Haithabu (near Schleswig), the most important Viking settlement in Jutland, until his death in 810.
The sword dates from the 8th century and has the typical shape of an early medieval Viking sword: a short, slightly forward-curved crossguard, a straight, double-edged blade with a wider, fuller pommel with three ridges.

This sword is exclusively handmade. The crossguard and triple-ridged pommel are made of forged, heat-treated cast iron. The spring steel blade extends to the pommel, where it is hand-riveted. The handle is wrapped with a wide leather strap. The blade has a pronounced groove, giving the sword great elasticity yet lightness. It is oil-hardened to approximately 48–50 HRC. The blade edges are unsharpened.
The sword comes with a very nice wooden leather scabbard with two buckles attached to straps. You can, for example, attach the straps to your own sword accessory.
This is the standard version of this early medieval sword. The same sword is also available in a combat-ready version with a blunt blade and rounded tip: art. 0116696606.
