Bastard or hand and a half sword 14th century Royal Armouries 501832

The Holy Roman Empire 14th Century Longsword is a faithful replica of a hand-and-a-half sword dating back to the second half of the 14th century, part of the Royal Armouries Collection under the number IX.1106. This historic sword was found in Lake Constance, a place at the crossroads of Austria, Germany and Switzerland, and represents the classic style of swords used by knights and men-at-arms during this period.

Sword Features:

• Double-Edged Blade: The blade of this sword is tapered, rigid and double-edged, designed to provide great cutting and penetrating ability. It has a flat diamond cross-section, with a thick spine running along its entire length, giving it rigidity and stability.
• Deep Point and Large Pommel: The sword's deep, sharp point is optimized for piercing armor, while the large wheel-shaped pommel acts as a counterweight, providing balance and making the sword easier to wield with both one and two hands.

Handle and Knob Design:

• Hand-and-a-Half Handle: This sword features a hand-and-a-half handle, allowing it to be used one-handed (on horseback) or two-handed (on foot). This versatile design made it ideal for both knights and men-at-arms in combat.
• Complex and Functional Pommel: The pommel has a complex shape with subtle slopes at the top, not only improving the balance of the sword, but also being useful as a blunt weapon in close combat.

Materials and Construction:

• 1080 High Carbon Steel: Hand forged from fully tempered 1080 high carbon steel, this sword is exceptionally sturdy and durable. The tempered steel ensures that the blade can withstand the rigors of combat and maintain its shape and sharpness over time.

Wood and Leather Sheath:

• Historically Accurate Scabbard: The sword comes with a leather-covered wooden scabbard with a brass ferrule with ornate cutouts at the tip. The leather extends onto the guard to provide further protection for the blade.
