DT5154

The sword of William Wallace, created by the maker of the film original, Fulvio Del Tin.

This is the most authentic reproduction of this sword you can buy. As a form of early claymore, this sword has no historical provenance, though it is very similar to swords carried by the Landesknecht (German mercenaries) much later. The blade, of chrome vanadium steel, is diamond in cross-section with a flat at the ricasso (base of the blade). The hilt has straight quillons and a wide cuspidate quillon block, a leather wrapped wooden grip, and a fig-shaped pommel. A truly awe-inspiring sword.

Overall length: 54"
Weight: 5 lbs 2 oz

DT2133

One of two swords ascribed to St. Maurice (Mauritius), this one now resides in the Imperial Treasury in Vienna. This sword was later decorated with engraving by Otto IV, but the original sword remains an outstanding example of a Type XI sword, circa 1200 (This sword is shown in plate 8 of Oakeshott's Archaeology of Weapons).

The faithful reproduction of this sword by the artisans of Del Tin Antiche is a pleasure to hold. The heavy steel "brazil-nut" pommel balances the heavy blade perfectly. It features a steel crossguard, wooden grip wrapped with iron wire, and a chrome vanadium steel blade with central fuller.

Overall length 39"
Weight: 3 lbs. 8oz.

DT2120

Revered as the coronation sword of the French Kings, and later gilded and decorated by Napoleon, the original sword now rests in the Louvre in Paris. In style more similar to 12th and 13th Century swords, most scholars have doubted that it was indeed the sword of Charlemagne (crowned October 9, 786 CE), although recent radiocarbon tests have shown that it could have dated from his period.

This faithful reproduction, by the artisans at Del Tin Antiche, features a lost-wax cast bronze grip and a deeply fullered blade of chrome-vanadium steel. (This Del Tin sword made an appearance in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.)

Overall length: 39"
Blade Length: 32.5"
Grip Length: 3.75"
PoB: 5.25"
CoP: 19"
Blade Width: 2" at the guard, 0.5" at 1" from the tip

DT2140

The original of this sword has been described as a "robust cut and thrust sword" (Oakeshott Type XIV) and has been dated between 1350-1400 CE.

The pommel on this sword (now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) is inscribed with a quotation from Virgil's Aeneid: "sunt hic etiam sua praemia laudi," translated by scholars at the Met as: "Here too virtue has its due reward."

The quotation is from the Aeneid, Book I, lines 461-462:
Aeneas has arrived in Carthage and sees a temple which has wall-paintings depicting scenes from the Trojan War, including the sad end of his home.

"Even (etiam) here (hic) are (sunt) the rewards (praemia) for virtue (laudi); [even here] tears (lacrimae) for our misfortunes (rerum), and human troubles (mortalia) touch (tangunt) the mind (mentem)."

The Trojans and the Greeks get praise/rewards for their bravery on the battlefield here, in the form of the war being memorialized on the temple walls, in a land far away from the battles. But, they are also reminded of all the suffering that they have experienced. (translation and notes courtesy of Ruth Sameth.)

This sword can be seen on page 46 of Swords and Hilt Weapons and is still on display at the Met. This reproduction, by Del Tin Armi Antiche, features a broad triangular steel blade of chrome vanadium steel with a fuller running two-thirds of its length. The crossguard, made of steel, arcs downward toward the blade, and the wooden grip is bound with leather.

DT2142

Becoming popular in the late 13th and early 14th Centuries CE, this type of sword was found to give the extra leverage and length needed to combat advances in armor.

The elongated grip gave the room to use the sword with two hands, though the balance still allowed a horseman to use it one-handed as well. This 14th Century example features a steel wheel pommel and crossguard and a long wooden grip wrapped with leather.

The long blade, of chrome vanadium steel, has a fuller running two-thirds of its length.

Overall length: 47"
