This is a beautiful modern replica of a medieval sword. The blade was produced by Valiant Armoury and it was re-handled by maker James Curry. A great medieval style sword! Sword is in excellent condition, with handling wear. Blade is sharpened down to thin edge. Pommel is screwed on as pictured with hex. Sheath is not the original and is a bit long for the blade, but works (could be shortened/modified to fit nicely).
