This reproduction is based on the surviving components of the famous 6th to early 7th Century Sutton Hoo sword which is a prized part of the collection of the British Museum and a fine example of the masterfully crafted swords which were the prestige of Germanic and Anglo Saxon chieftains, champions and Kings of the late Roman Era and of the Migration period. The sword and the other prestige artifacts from the Sutton Hoo burial likely belonged to King Raedwald of East Anglia. The wide cutting blade of this replica is forged from high carbon steel and it is mounted into a composite hilt of wood and antiqued brass. The hardwood grip is bound in fitted leather. The original sword had red garnets inset into the pommel with the cloisonné technique and this is replicated here with quality cast brass with scarlet enamel. Like the original sword, the layers of the composite guard and pommel secured with rivets. Included with the sword is a wooden scabbard which is wrapped in tight leather and fitted with an antiqued brass chape and locket. A wooden suspension loop allows for the sword to be worn with your own baldric or belt. What happened to the reviews? |
