Mortuary Hilt Sword SH2004

Replicating a finely-preserved museum piece, our Mortuary Hilt Sword is a classic example of a cavalry or dragoon officer's sword of the 17th century English Civil War period. Deriving its name from the style of sword which memorialized King Charles I, who was executed in 1649, The Mortuary Hilt sword's steel basket is decorated with scrolled foliage while an engraved head of Charles I appears on the pommel. The lozenge-section double-edged blade is forged from high-carbon steel, partially fullered and bears the sword maker's mark "1414", the derivation of which has been lost in time.
