Albion Armorers Next Generation Baron
Original: 13th-14th centuries This imposing great sword is patterned after several original Type XIIa swords. The style dates from the late 13th and early 14th century. The wide blade is well-suited for cutting, but tapers to enough of a point that it would be suited for thrusting as well. Albion makes this with a blade of 1075 steel. The wide fuller extends roughly 2/3 of the blade's length. The cross is octagonal in cross section. The pommel has a steeply raised disc in the center with a cross potent on its face. The grip is stabilized birch, wrapped with cord and black calfskin. Overall length: 47.375" Weight: 3.6 pounds Width of guard: 7.75" Blade: 37.25" long; 2.3" wide tapering to 1.125" Grip and pommel: 10" Point of Balance (PoB): 5.25" from guard Center of Percussion (CoP): ~22.125" from guard Maker: Albion Armorers of Wisconsin |
