Albion Next Generation Thegn Sword
- AMS1019
|
The Albion Next Generation Thegn Sword is a tribute to those early military leaders and this sword represents one classic style of distinctively Anglo-Saxon sword hilts.
The curved upper and lower guards of this sword and the three lobed pommel with the prominent middle peak are typical features for Anglo-Saxon swords of this period. This type is also found in Scandinavia dating to the second half of the 9th century. The Thegn has slightly slimmer dimensions than the other swords in this line. The blade is still broad at the base and the fuller is wide and well defined. This makes for a sword with quick handling characteristics. The unique pommel, with its two saddle-shaped side lobes, are accented with a twisted strand of sterling silver wire on each side. The blade is hand-ground from 1075 carbon steel to a fine satin finish, sharpened and heat-treated by hand in the Albion Forge Shop. The grip is of stabilized birch, wrapped with cord and covered with the highest grade vegetable-tanned calfskin. Overall Length: 34.5 In (87.6 cm) Blade: 28.75 In (73 cm) Weight: 2 lbs 8 oz Limited Edition of 500 World Wide! Retail Price: $985.00
