#194 English Longsword

Original: c. 1450, Dimensions Zürich Landesmus, Details Effigy
Trinity College, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The distinctive hilt of this sword consists of a flattened
pear shaped pommel and gently arched guard all in steel. The hock
bottle grip is wood, bound with cord to create the pattern and
covered in leather.
These unique swords of the late 15th century are seen on
many German and English effigies. This particular sword is based
on an example in the Zürich Landesmuseum. The original is
severely corroded so we have chosen the hilt detail inspired by a
Flemish painting to finish the detail.

#195 Dürer Bastard Sword

Original: c. 1480-1520, Private Collection, Germany.
This is a knightly sword for war from the end of the 15th
century. A steel wheel pommel and slightly S shaped guard are
mounted on this elegant Oakeshott Type XVIIIb blade. The grip is
8" long with a full lower grip and sharply tapering upper grip. This
long sword provided great reach and versatility to the warrior who
rode to battle with it at his side.
This style of sword was much used by the German man at
arms of the late 15th century. It is depicted in many illustrations of
knights from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, "A Knight,
Death and the Devil" by Albrecht Dürer being one of the most
famous. In fact many of Dürer's Knights carry such a sword and
thus why we have named it after him.

"Got my new English Longsword for my birthday - it is just gorgeous! What a great 'all around' sword! From the picture, I thought
of it as a one hander, but I see that it is really a bastard sword - easily used either way. Everything about it is great." Gordon, TN

#192 Town Guard Sword

Original circa 1610, (A612) Wallace Collection, London.
A classic sidesword made for the Munich Town Guard, around 1610.
This doubled edged cut and thrust blade mounted with a complex steel guard
would prove an excellent weapon for the close quarters situations
encountered in an urban setting. This sword would also be of the type
advocated by George Silver in his treatise on the use of the sword. There are
several surviving swords of this style in museums and private collections. The
one replicated here is based on an example in the Wallace Collection,
London.
The complex guard is hand made in steel and can be blued for an
additional fee. The blade is 6150 steel and is .25 inches thick. The balance
point, three inches in front of the guard, allows a nimble action to this stout
sword. This would be an excellent piece to add to your collection to illustrate
the development of these exceptional fighting swords.

#151 Writhen Rapier

Original circa 1625, Italian. (A602) Wallace Collection, London.
The boldly roped steel hilt reflects the light dramatically and will
impress friend and foe alike with its elegant form. The hand twisted bars of
the hilt form a light but very sturdy guard. The steel hilt and pommel are
mounted with a twisted wire bound grip that is crowned with turks heads (a
braided knot at top and bottom). The Italian original dates to about 1625,
though this style was seen as early as the 1580’s
OL: 43.37", BL: 34.25", BW: 1", Wt: 2.8 lbs.

#159 Writhen Parrying Dagger

Original circa 1580, German. Bashford & Dean Collection (29.157.14),
Metropolitan Museum, New York.
To compliment our Writhen Rapier we have chosen to reproduce a
similarly styled parrying dagger from the Bashford & Dean collection in
Metropolitan Museum in New York. This decorative roping technique is an
excellent example of the renaissance craftsman combining function and form
in a weapon. This particular piece has a fullered blade with decorative
chiseling on the ricasso block. The grip is covered in twisted wire with turks
heads top and bottom.

#158 Medici Falchion
Original circa 1560’s, Ital. (A710) Wallace Collection, London.
This falchion is one of the finest replicas we have ever
produced. It has an unparalleled quality and attention to detail from
the inscribed coat of arms on the blade to the weight and balance of the
original sword. The blade is etched with the personal coat of arms of
Cosimo de’ Medici 1519-74 and encircled with the collar of The Order
of the Golden Fleece. As Duke of Florence between 1564, when he was
elected to The Order of the Golden Fleece and 1569 when he was
created Grand Duke of Tuscany and his coat of arms changed, dates
this sword to this specific period. The pommel is sculpted as a Lions
head, while the guard is a low relief of acanthus leaves with the curved
quillions terminating in small lions heads and a lions face on the shell,
all in solid bronze covered in gold. The grip is bound in blackened steel
and bronze wire. The blade has the coat of arms and a decorative
etching on both sides.
The exceptional quality of this piece has led us to decide to
offer this piece in a limited edition of only 250 pieces. Your sword will
be sent numbered and stamped along with a certificate of Limited
Edition.

#199 Wallace Ballock Knife Set

Original: 1450 Flemish, (A732) Wallace Collection, London.
This set is an exceptional example of the medieval warriors tool kit. A large ballock dagger mounted with steel fittings could be used as
a large camp knife and was very serviceable in hand to hand combat. The by knife and pricker would be used as tools and utensils. The
set is carried in a wood and leather scabbard with metal tip and belt loop. The grips of maple and the knife blades are single edged
hardened steel..

 #168 Italian Three Ring Rapier
Original circa 1580-1585, Inv. 2537, Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan.
This slim weapon was quickly embraced by Italian
fighters for its agility and speed. The stiff blade of this rapier was
influenced by the art of personal combat, which centered more
on the thrust in this period. The fully swept hilt protected the
hand, a primary target, when fighting in the streets or a duel.
The three side rings on the foreguard are compli-
mented by a four bar inner guard and a faceted barrel shaped
pommel. Norman identifies this hilt as type 61 in his book, “The
Rapier and the Smallsword”.
The blade is a quarter inch thick at the hilt and distal
tapers to an authentic point and edge. Available with a satin
steel finish or you can special order a blued finish for the hilt,
your choice.

#169 Bavarian Rapier

Original: c. 1560 S German, Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan.
This type of rapier was often chosen as a distinct sword
design by elite military groups of the 17th century. Many
examples survive from Saxon and Bavarian corps. The epitome
of a classic rapier, it could not be bettered as an example of the
sword makers art.
Arms & Armor produces this rapier with an authentic
twisted wire wrapped grip using fine wire and a tight twist not
often seen in modern reproductions. The inner guard has a
three bar set of the normal type. Please indicate your preference
for a standard satin steel finish or special blued hilt (see below)
when ordering.

#170 French Rapier
Original circa 1590 Saxon, Tojhusmuseum, Copenhagen.
Function and beauty vie for top billing on this splendid example of
Norman's type 52 rapier hilt. The sinuously curved hilt and wire bound grip
would have been a declaration of good taste from the earliest examples of this
rapier style, appearing in the 1540's. This example is mounted with a stout
blade, able to deliver a thrust or a cut, and not diminishing the elegance of the
weapon.
The functionality of this piece should not be overlooked. Gentlemen
were the first to carry such swords, but all classes quickly adapted to this type of
weapon for personal defense and swordplay.
The pommel is of an ovoid form in profile and oval in cross section.
The inner guard is set with two bars flowing into one from the arms of the hilt
and anchored at the base of the hilt block . Please indicate your preference for a
blued, additional cost, or satin steel finish on the hilt when ordering.

(Norman) hilt has a simple clean line that appealed to many
swordsmen of the period. This is clearly illustrated by the many
portraits featuring this rapier as a personal sidearm of the rich and
well styled.

the knucklebow then branching into three bars terminating at the ends

#089 12th Century Sword

Original: c. 1100 - 1250 Northern Europe, Museum and Art
086 Gallery, Glasgow.
To assign an exact date to this sword is very difficult. This type of
sword was once thought to be from the later middle ages. Recent
scholarship has shown that a much earlier date should be applied
to many of this type of sword. A leading expert on medieval
swords comments that it could be from as early as 1100 to as late
as 1250.
The pommel, a faceted wheel, is a shape encountered in the
Leppaho Viking swords, a group of swords excavated from Viking
graves dating from 980-1000. The cross guard is of an early form,
referred to by the Vikings as a Gaddhjalt [spike hilt]. The blade is
designed for the cutting style of fighting used during this period
and has a fuller running 2/3 the length of the blade.

Original: c. 1050-1120, Weltliches Schatzkammer, Vienna.
A sword of truly royal quality. This replicates the coronation
sword of the Holy Roman Emperor, used from the 10th century to
1918. The original is one of the best surviving swords of this type.
It was very probably made as a sword for battle but was promoted
to its esteemed use some time in the 10th century and since then
has been preserved in a nearly pristine state. The engraving was
added, a common practice, for the coronation of Otto IV in 1198.
It consists of the arms of the empire on the pommel and the
inscriptions “Christus Vincit, Christus Reinat, Christus Imperat,”
145 a common war cry of the Third Crusade, on the guard. The grip is

swords and other long handled weapons quite well, while being economical
for arming many soldiers.

strive to create the look and feel of the original in all respects.

Our materials and methods of construction replicate those of the originals as closely as possible.
All work is done in our own shop in Minneapolis, we do not import items from over seas. This
