This is a replica of the famous Ulfberht Viking sword. It was hand carved and cast in NYC. This piece was cast in white bronze (silver and bronze). It comes on a sturdy open link silver plated chain in your choice of lengths. Lobster clasp.

Specs : the sword is 2 inches long (49 mm) by .32 inches wide at the guard (8.2 mm)

If you are a history freak like me I can really recommend watching this documentary on the Ulfberht sword : http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/secrets-viking-sword.htmlq

It was a development of the Roman spatha, evolving out of the Migration Period sword in the 8th century, and into the classical knightly sword in the 11th century with the emergence of larger cross-guards. Of particular note is the "Ulfberht" subset, which used steel of higher purity and carbon content than its peers in the region and was possibly imported in ingot form from the middle or far east.[citation needed]

Blade length varied from 28 to 33 inches.[1] Early examples have single, deep, wide fullers running the full length of the blade.[1] Later examples have multiple narrow fullers.[1] A fuller reduces the weight of the blade without compromising the strength. This weight reduction would allow the wielder to swing faster and harder strokes. Additionally, to be more useful against chain mail, the end of the blade was more tapered than its predecessors.

All have short single-handed hilts with pyramid, lobed or cocked-hat style pommels. Pommels were made of iron and were heavier than on the earlier Migration Period sword. They started to act as a counterweight to the blade.[1]

This piece is cast to order in NYC and comes gift boxed.
