Oakeshott Type XIII Swords

Description
This desktop wallpaper features the Bohemian Broadsword as produced by Arms & Armor. It features an Oakeshott Type XIIIa blade.

It appears that Type XIII was not a common type and there are few surviving examples. The swords are typically broad and flat, featuring very little profile taper and spatulate points. The Type XIII is an interesting sword because it appears to be a single-handed length blade but with a two-handed length grip. The Type XIIIa blade mirrors that of the Type XIII in almost every way except that this type is much bigger. They appear to also have been much more common than the smaller Type XIII.

You can read about the Bohemian Broadsword in our hands-on review or more about the type in our Type XIII Spotlight.
