War sword of Viking type
This Viking type war sword is composed of a steel blade with a
silver and gold encrusted cross guard and pommel, and a restored
gilded grip. The straight, double-edged blade has a narrow fuller
that runs along its full length.
This type of sword is typical of the kind used by both
infantrymen and cavalrymen on the battlefield, with this kind of
sword suited to one-handed combat due to its short grip.
