Museum Replicas Limited Celtic Long Sword
Original: Circa 2nd Century AD, British This sword is very loosely based on the sword found at Embleton, in Britain. The original had a fairly ornate enameled pommel and guard, bronze medial ridge in the center of the grip, and a short, sharp 21.5" blade. This replica has a much-simplified pommel and guard of red bronze. The blade is CK55 Krupp steel and was made by Del Tin Armi Antiche in the style and profile of a late La Tène II or early La Tène III form. The grip is of wood covered with leather. The owner has re-covered the grip in brown leather and made a simple brown leather scabbard to match. Overall length: 38" Weight: 2 pounds Width of guard: 2.125" Blade: 31.25" long; 1.5" wide tapering to 1.25" Hilt length: 6.625" Point of Balance (PoB): 5.75" from guard Center of Percussion (CoP): ~22.5" from guard Maker: Museum Replicas Limited of Atlanta |
