Product description
This sword is made after an early Norse Viking sword from the 8th century AD. Swords like this are found all over Europe and they are a direct development of the spatha. Around this period the early medieval swords had a relatively small pommel and two long cross-guards.
Both cross-guards and the pommel are made of hardened brass. The blade has a double cutting edge and is made of carbon steel.
Its length is 92 cm, the length of the blade is 75,5 cm and it weighs approx. 2 kg. The sword is luxuriously decorated, only the higher classes of aristocracy could afford swords like this.
This sword is a Petersen type A.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
