Hedeby Viking Sword, 9th. c.

Viking sword from Langeid, 11th century, incl. scabbard.

This reconstruction was made after a grave find. This is the Viking burial site in Langeid (Norway) from grave No. 8. The remarkably well preserved find made of iron, gold and silver from the 11th century can be admired today in the Cultural History Museum in Oslo.

The original has decorations in the form of spirals, runes, Latin letters and crosses in the hand guard and pommel and is therefore truly unique.

The reproduction has a double-edged blade made of spring steel (EN45), with a wide and long groove. The edges are not sharpened and the continuous blade tang is screwed and riveted to the pommel. The quillons and pommel were made of cast brass to replicate as faithfully as possible the detailed motifs and patterns found on the original. the handle section with wooden core is tightly wrapped with brass wire.

The wooden/leather scabbard with wooden belt pull-through (suitable for max. 5 cm wide belt) and brass fittings is included.
