The German Bastard Sword is based on an original from the famed Wallace Collection. Like many German swords, it is primarily a cutting sword, with a wide blade that has a flattened oval cross section that gives very little resistance in a cutting blow. It is also a perfect example of a true hand-and-half or ''bastard'' sword. The proportions of the sword are that of a single handed sword, but with a slightly longer grip and a pommel shape that will allow a two handed grip. Features an unsharpened carbon steel blade, wood grip with cord and leather wrap, and antiqued steel guard and pommel. The long quillions have decorative finials on the ends and side rings provide good hand protection. Includes a matching leather scabbard with antiqued steel throat and tip.
