- ANV9

|
Swords of Type AE are not among the most common of Viking swords. It is a late development, making it one of the youngest of Viking hilt-styles.
The Albion Valkyrja is inspired from a fascinating Finnish find from Suontaka, Tyrväntö, Tavastland; a woman's grave that apart from other rich goods included two swords. One was a bare blade with silver decorations (it might once have had organic hilt furniture that is now lost?) and a splendid sword with a hilt of bronze. The Albion Valkyrja Viking Sword features a hand-ground high-carbon steel blade heat-treated by hand for maximum flexibility and fully sharpened. The low-relief decorations on the solid bronze pommel and cross are two entwined dragons/beasts carved in the Urnes style of the 11th century. The grip is wood with leather wrap. Overall Length: 36 1/2'' Blade: 30 1/4'' Weight: 2 lb 15 oz Limited Edition of only 100 Pieces Worldwide!! $0.00
