An impressive antique or vintage medieval-style broadsword / arming sword, designed following classic 14th–15th-century European knightly sword proportions.
Featuring a double-edged steel blade with a central fuller, a straight steel crossguard, a leather-wrapped grip, and a distinct multi-lobed "claw" / radial fluted pommel, this piece is an exceptional display sword for arms & armor collectors, historical reenactors, or theatrical prop collections.
Maker's Mark (Blade Markings):
The blade features two clear, deeply stamped crescent moon / face-in-the-moon maker's marks positioned on either side of the central fuller. In historical cutlery and swordsmithing, the crescent moon (sometimes referred to as the "Eyeglasses" or Brillenmarke mark) was historically used by famous blade-making centers such as Solingen (Germany) and Toledo (Spain), and is frequently reproduced on high-quality antique-style blades.
Blade Design:
Straight, double-edged steel blade featuring a prominent central fuller running down the upper third of the blade for weight reduction and rigidity. Shows natural surface patina and light pitting consistent with age.
Hilt & Crossguard:
Solid steel crossguard with a central peaked block (chape fitting / ecusson) extending over the ricasso.
Grip & Pommel:
Dark leather-wrapped grip for a firm, authentic hold, topped with an ornate, hand-sculpted multi-pointed fluted "claw" or "sunburst" style pommel.
Dimensions:
Total Length: Approx. 108–110 cm (visible via tape measure).
Hilt & Guard Width: Approx. 18–20 cm.
Overall Condition: Good vintage / antique display condition with an authentic aged patina.
Blade: Smooth edges, minor natural surface oxidation/pitting consistent with storage and age, no major cracks or structural damage.
Hilt & Guard: Tight construction; leather wrapping on the grip remains intact with natural aging marks.
