Oliver Cromwell (1599 – 1658) was a powerful figure in English history during and after the English Civil War, when he rose from the rank of Captain of Horse to Lord Protector of England. His sword, said to have been carried at the battle of Drogheda in 1649, has been remarkably well preserved and features in the collection of the Royal Armouries in Leeds, England, where it is displayed in the permanent collection.
The Paul Chen / Hanwei Cromwell Sword is an accurate replica of the original ''mortuary'' hilt style and features a blackened steel guard decorated in a gold foliage pattern with a wire-wound sharkskin grip. The blade is sharpened carbon steel with an antiqued finish. Includes a matching wood scabbard with brown leather wrap and blackened steel accents.
