The Fetter Lane Sword - 8th Century Saxon Sword

This highly detailed sword recreates the fine swords available to champions, chieftains and kings of the late 8th Century and is closely based on the surviving components of the prized Fetter Lane sword which is part of the collection of the British Museum. The blade is tempered high carbon steel and the hilt is well-cast brass with a plated silvered finish which is highly detailed; like the original it has different designs on either side of the hilt. The composite pommel was riveted together in its final construction.

Included with the sword is a wooden scabbard which is wrapped in tight leather and fitted with a plated brass chape and locket; the wooden suspension loop enables the sword to be slung from your own belt or baldric.
