Viking Vestre Berg (Oslo) scabbard, Petersen O type, 10º C
This beautiful Viking Sword is based on an original sword that was part of the great tomb of Vestre Berg in Løiten/Løten, Norway. According to archaeological records, the grave was discovered in 1887 among some rocks during cleaning work. A distinctive feature of the original, which dates back to the tenth century, is the blade, which was presumably ritually bent into an "S" shape. It is not known if this practice was intended to symbolically "kill" the sword before it was buried, or if the purpose was to deter grave robbers. The sword, classified as Type O according to Petersen's Viking sword typology, is now in the collection of the Kulturhistorisk Museum (formerly Universitetets Oldsaksamling) in Oslo, Norway.
The replica features a wide, double-edged blade with wide, fuller, and unsharp cutting edges. The grip consists of a handle wrapped in red leather, a short, slightly curved guard, and a generously sized five-lobed pommel. The bronze guard and pommel are engraved with the same patterns and motifs that adorn the original find.
The sword comes complete with a red wood and leather scabbard fitted with a bronze throat and cape and a sword belt with bronze accessories.
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.
