Beagnoth Saxophone - Limited Deluxe Version



Replica of a 9th century Anglo-Saxon long saxophone, limited to 250 copies worldwide. The original was found in London's River Thames in 1857 and is now on display at the British Museum. That is why it is also called the Thames scramasax or the Thames sword .



The blade is elaborately engraved and bears a runic inscription, where the first part represents the Anglo-Saxon futhark (= alphabet). The second part of the inscription is beagnoth , probably the name of the bearer or the armorer.



Our reconstruction is very similar in shape and dimensions to the early medieval original. Like the original, the inscription is depicted with gold and silver inlays (inlay). In addition to the inscription, the single-edged blade has a continuous, narrow but rather deep groove. The blade is not sharpened and the surface is blued. The wooden handle scales are fixed to the tang by means of brass rivets.



The scope of delivery includes a wooden wall display with a numbered certificate of authenticity and a robust and elegant cowhide case. Unlike the conventional version, the case of the limited edition replica has four brass applications with a knot pattern.
