Roman General’s Spatha
Roman General’s Spatha
A beautifully made General’s sword with highly elaborated hilt, richly decorated bronze and stained oak. Blade made of Spring steel. This reproduction is handmade by Historical Armouries.
The spatha was a type of straight sword with a long point, measuring between 0.75 and 1 m,in use throughout 1st millennium Europe and the territory of the Roman Empire until about AD 600. Later swords through about AD 1000 are recognizable derivatives, though not spathae.
The predecessor of the spatha is the 3rd century BC (La Tène) Celtic sword. The spatha of literature appears in the Roman Empire in the 1st century as a weapon of presumed Germanic auxiliaries[dubious – discuss] and went on from there to become a standard heavy infantry weapon, relegating the gladius to use as a light infantry weapon. The spatha apparently simply replaced the gladius in the front ranks, giving the infantry more reach in thrusting.
Archaeologically many instances of the spatha have been found in Britain and Germany. It was used extensively by Germanic warriors but whether it came from the Pompeii gladius or the longer Celtic swords or served as a model for the various broadswords and Viking swords of Europe is a highly speculative topic. The spatha remained popular throughout the Migration period. It could have evolved into the knightly sword of the High Middle Ages from about 1100, but the large number of sword types that appeared during the period are difficult to connect for certain. Specific details of their manufacture and the models used by their manufacturers remain chiefly unknown.

Broadsword Handle Umbrella $39.99 King Arthur rode the land; the sound of clattering coconuts close behind him. He was searching, searching, but for what, he knew not. And still he searched. At long last, he came, exhausted, to a lake. He dismounted and allowed Patsy to get a drink. Alas, a dark cloud shadowed the lake and began gnashing its teeth and pouring out rain over history's greatest King. Suddenly, a chorus of angels was heard and a shaft of light illuminated a woman's hand rising from the water. It held the famed Excali-brella. King Arthur took it, and was wet no more. Patsy, however, developed a small cold. We commemorate this much chronicled event with the Broadsword Handle Umbrella. Really, nothing more needs to be said. Just look at it. The Broadsword Handle Umbrella is gorgeous. Its massive handle looks like you could draw forth a blade and cleave the raindrops in twain before they even had a chance to hit the ground. No form of precipitation will mess with you when you are armed with a Broadsword Handle Umbrella. Goes great with any business suit of armor or really, even just business casual chain mail. The Broadsword Handle Umbrella - just buy one already. |

Broadsword by Naoum, Jordan [Paperback] $66.91 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A broadsword is a sword with a blade that is heavy, straight, and usually doubleedged. A singleedged weapon sharing the other characteristics of a broadsword is called a backsword. The broadsword is designed for both cutting and thrusting, but primarily the former.It was a preferred armament in England for four centuries, beginning in the 16th century and continuing until the advent of firearms, although many different designs were used over that time, falling into various schemes of categorization by type of hilt. In its early days it had only a plain cross hilt, sometimes accompanied by an outer ring, and a doubleedged blade; it was then used for attack only, the wielder employing a buckler for defense. As use of the buckler declined due to the inconvenience of carrying it, techniques were developed for defensive use of the broadsword.

CAS Hanwei Scottish Basket Hilt, Broadsword $369 Although Basket-Hilt swords appeared throughout Britain from the mid-sixteenth century on, their association with the seventeenth and eighteenth century Scottish highlander has become legendary. The Basket-Hilt Broadsword, replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England, carries a typical Glasgow-style hilt from the mid-18th century. It is likely that the blade of the original sword, marked Andrea Ferara , was made in Germany a century earlier and re-hilted as basket designs were refined. The sword is available in a polished finish. The hilt is crafted from stainless steel, to minimize maintenance. The blade is a high-carbon blade. The grips of the broadswords are covered with wire-wrapped genuine rayskin and the basket liners are crafted in fabric-covered leather. The scabbards are leather-covered, black Features: - Authentic replica of Museum Piece - Fully functional - Scabbard included Specifications: - Overall length: 39 3/4 inch - Blade length: 33 1/2 inch - Handle length: 6 inch - Weight: 3lb 1oz - Point of Balance: 5 inch - Point of Percussion: 23 inch - Width at Guard: 1. 79 inch - Width at Tip: 1. 19 inch - Thickness at Guard: 18 inch - Thickness at Tip: 08 inch |
