Product description
This beautiful knight's sword is based on an original that is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The sword was given the name "Aislinn", meaning "Vision" or "Dream" in Irish, by a previous conservator. However, the sword, classified by Oakeshott as Type XV and dated to the 15th century, has often cast doubt on this dating. It is believed that it may be a 19th century forgery, as the sword's handle is almost perfectly preserved, while the blade shows strong signs of corrosion that do not match. This replica has a semi-sharp blade that tapers sharply towards the tip. About a third of the length has a fuller. The grip consists of two black horn plates that are firmly riveted to the tang construction. The crossguard and the round pommel are made of bronze and are bent towards the blade. The sword comes with a brown wooden/leather scabbard and a sturdy leather sword belt. The strap end and buckle are made of brass and decorated with the motif of a dragon and a lion on a red background.Product details
