Product description

This sword is a replica of a 9th-century Viking sword discovered in a burial mound (tumulus) at Kildonnan / Dail Sithean. The sword likely belonged to a Viking jarl from the upper ranks 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 crossguard and pommel are made of bronze and are richly decorated, while the grip is made of 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.
