(Sale Sword ) 14th C. Composite Sword (#98940)

Relative condition: 8/10

Structural integrity: 10/10

Reason of sale: The sword has been made with various parts that have not passed our quality control due to aesthetic reasons.  There are some minor spots on the fittings and blade (see image gallery for details). The blade is acid etched with a passage from Psalm 115:1, which reads “Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam”  – Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory –  this verse famously served as the official battle hymn of the Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (The Knights Templar).

This imposing two-handed sword represents the pinnacle of high medieval warfare, mirroring the evolutionary shift toward larger, more devastating battlefield weapons during the 13th and 14th centuries. As armor evolved from mail to reinforced plate, the classic single-handed arming sword was frequently scaled up to create specialized two-handed variants—weapons engineered to deliver tremendous kinetic energy while retaining exceptional reach and agility.

In hand, the sword feels very responsive. The sword would be very fitting for both thrusting and cutting, making it a very good backyard cutter.   As with all our blades, the sword is made with a full tang and properly heat treated and Tempered.
