Holy Roman Empire 14th Century Longsword

The majestic Holy Roman Empire 14th Century Longsword from the Royal Armouries IX.1106 collection is a stunning reproduction of the iconic knight's sword from the Middle Ages. This sword is designed to capture the aesthetics and style of the period, whilst incorporating modern improvements in its construction to ensure the sword's durability and quality.

The sword's blade has been hand forged from superior 1080 high carbon steel, which has been carefully tempered to ensure maximum strength and durability. Additionally, the distal taper of the blade allows for balanced weight distribution for more comfortable and precise handling. The blade features a simple flat diamond cross section and is slightly thicker at the spine to add rigidity to the blade.

The design of the one-and-a-half-handed hilt is robust and elegant, allowing for one- or two-handed use. The mass of the sword is impressive, weighing 1,775 grams and excellent counterbalanced by the imposingly large wheel pommel. The pommel in turn features a subtle and complex shape, with the front and back planes angled inwards only at the top. This feature specializes the sword for armored combat.

The scabbard of the Holy Roman Empire 14th Century Longsword has also been crafted to replicate one from the period, with a wooden body and leather covering for maximum durability. The tip of the scabbard is reinforced with a brass ferrule and at the mouth of the scabbard, the leather extends upwards and covers part of the guard for added protection.

Not only is this a stunning replica, but it is an effective and reliable combat tool. In addition, this work of art comes with a certificate of authenticity that guarantees the quality and genuineness of the sword. For care and maintenance, Windlass Classic Wax and a polishing cloth are included to keep the sword in perfect condition.

With an overall length of 111 cm, a double-edged 88 cm blade and a 26 cm wide guard, the Holy Roman Empire 14th Century Longsword is an impressive combat tool and an even more impressive collector's item. Crafted by Windlass Steelcrafts®, this sword is a true work of art that perfectly captures the essence and spirit of the 14th century Holy Roman Empire.
