The 100 year War Sword
The 15th century witnessed some of the most beautiful
sword of the Medieval period. Complex architectural paradigms influenced
smiths in both armor and sword design. Among the patterns of the early 15th
century, a new trend emerged in handles designs, leading way to an
increasingly popular ribbed layer handle construction. While some swords
were fitted with small latitudinal flanges at the top and bottom, others
were crowned with circular rims. One such example is the sword of Johannes
von Eglofstein, dating from 1411, from which our model was reproduced.
Elegant in design, with crisp lines reflecting the emerging architectural
trend of the late medieval period, this Type XII medieval sword comes with a
matching leather wrapped wood scabbard.
