Thames Seax
If you love ancient artifacts and the world of medieval history, you will surely love the Thames Seax! This stunning replica of Anglo-Saxon Langsaxes from the 9th Century is a true work of art that will leave anyone speechless with its unique design and features.
The original Thames Seax was found in the River Thames in London in 1857, and is now housed in the renowned British Museum. The blade of the sword is slowly etched and inscribed with a runic inscription, where the first part represents the Anglo-Saxon Futhark (= alphabet). The second part of the inscription is Beagnoth, probably the name of the company or the weapons mechanic who made it.
Our replica is very similar in shape and dimensions to the medieval original. The single-edged blade has a narrow, but rather deep and continuous groove next to the inscription. The wooden handles are attached by bronze bolts on the hook, and also supported by two brass rings. The blade is blunt, making it perfect for use as a decorative object.
The Thames Seax replica is supplied with a sturdy, period cowhide scabbard. The main material of the sword is carbon steel, which guarantees its high strength and durability over time.
With a total length of approximately 73.5 cm and a blade length of about 55.5 cm, this beautiful replica weighs around 650 g. This sword becomes an excellent collector's item thanks to its careful design and detailed workmanship.
If you are a lover of medieval history or are simply interested in ancient artifacts, the Thames Seax is certainly an object you should not miss. Add this stunning replica to your collection and enjoy a little bit of history in your home!
