Deepeeka The River Witham Sword – 13th Century Arming Sword
Price:
$181.95
The River Witham Sword, a meticulously crafted replica inspired by a well-preserved 13th Century original found near the River Witham in Lincoln, England. This exceptional arming sword, currently housed in the British Museum, boasts a legacy of masterful workmanship.
The River Witham sword exhibits a dual-fullered blade design adorned with intricately inlaid inscriptions and symbols on both sides—a testament to the craftsmanship of its Germanic origins. The blade, likely forged in central Europe, was paired with a hilt by an English cutler to cater to local preferences.
The inscriptions on the sword remain a mystery, with suggestions ranging from good luck symbols to abbreviated Latin prayers or invocations to a saint for protection. Such inscriptions and inlays were highly sought after around the year 1200, indicating its premium quality intended for nobility and elites.
Crafted with historical accuracy in mind, this replica features a high carbon steel blade, tempered to 48-52 HRc for durability. The solid construction includes a peened pommel for stability. The crossguard and pommel, both made of steel, complement the wooden grip wrapped in tight leather cord.
The River Witham Sword comes complete with a wooden scabbard enveloped in stitched, high-quality vegetable-tanned leather. Steel fittings and hanging rings on the scabbard allow for versatile wearing options—vertically or at an angle from a sword belt (belt not included).
