Gammelt Jern Armando Espada with Sheath, 13º C
This beautiful one-handed sword is a replica of one of the best-preserved medieval swords. The original was owned for some time by E.A. Christensen, a well-known Danish sword collector. His drawings of the medieval sword were featured in the book "Gammelt Jern" published by A.B. Hoffmeyer in 1968. It is classified as Type XIV according to the Oakeshott typology and dated to the period between 1275 and 1340. The location of the find of the original sword, now on display at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, is unknown.
The sword has a broad, double-edged blade that narrows toward the tip. Two deep fullers run almost the entire length of the blade and the cutting edges are not sharp.
The quillons are slightly curved and the wooden handle wrapped in red leather ends in a K-type pommel with faceted edges. The center of the pommel is adorned with red circular accents on both sides.
This sword comes complete with a red wood and leather scabbard equipped with a brass cover and a beautiful sword belt made of sturdy leather. The belt can be adjusted in various sizes thanks to the flower-shaped brass eyelets.
Note that this medieval sword is not a battle-ready weapon. It is designed as a collector's piece or decoration/display and is not suitable for combat reenactment. In addition to collector's quality, it is also perfectly suited as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.
