Product description
This 9th-century Viking sword was discovered in a burial mound (tumulus) at Kildonnan / Dail Sithean. The sword likely belonged to a Viking jarl from the upper echelon of the Viking elite. It is classified as a Petersen Type D. The luxurious grip indicates that the owner must have been exceptionally wealthy. A similar original has been found in Bjornsholm on Jutland, Denmark.
This Viking sword features a thin blade with a wide fuller. The cross-guard and pommel are made of bronze and are richly decorated, while the grip is crafted from wood wrapped in beautifully aged brown leather. The sword comes with a scabbard, also richly decorated with copper fittings in Viking art style, and includes a belt loop so it can be worn on your belt.
