The Dark Age, specifically, refers to a time (476–800) when there was an absence of a Roman emperor in the West; or, more generally, to the period marked by frequent warfare and a virtual disappearance of urban life. The Dark Ages, also known as the Early Medieval Period, began by the deposition of the last western Roman Emperor by a Germanic leader in 476 A.D. The period is marked by the "Germanization" of the Roman armies and a massive wave of attacks on the Roman Empire commonly referred to as the "Germanic" or ""Barbarian Invasions".

We forged this Early Medieval sword, or "Dark Age" sword, to reflect the cultural trend of the Germanic tribes as well as the change in Roman arsenal. Relatively short in length, the Dark Age sword is inspired by the swords used by the Roman armies as well as those found among the various Germanic tribes. The Dark Age sword is forged with 1060 High Carbon Steel. The blade has been Tempered to a Rockwell of 53. The Dark Age Sword Comes with a matching scabbard.
