Medieval Longsword 15th Century

Medieval Longsword 1450 AD

The longsword, often called a hand-and-half, saw a great deal of service as a weapon of war, but was also employed a great deal as a civilian weapon of self-defense.

Coupled with a dagger, the longsword was an excellent defense against robbers, thieves, footpads, assassins and even some of the robber bands that might roam the countryside.

A good serviceable point allowed it to be used for thrusting, and a medium weight allowed it to be used easily and carried with equal ease.

This weight also allowed it to be used with one hand with a dagger in the other. But when needed, it could be gripped with both hands for a very powerful cut.

This is a beautiful and very functional sword with steel pommel and guard.

The grip is wood wrapped with leather and wire.
