Introducing the first of hopefully many Lundemo-Belair. The sword is for a school project and will be the first sword I helped create. The sword is an Oakeshott type XIV. I based the design on several different swords of that type to create a sword that was archeologically accurate, while still being original. I left the tip a little wider than you usually see on the blade type, it is a nod To Oakeshott’s little type XIV “Moonbrand”.
The fuller is hand ground by John. The hand ground fuller gives the sword a more accurate look than the super clean parallel lines of a milling machine. The cross was hand forged by John to give it the elegant curve.

The stats are as follows
Total length: 36 ½
Blade length: a hair under 30
Blade width at base: 3
Balance point: 4 ½
Sweet spot (COP): about 20-22
Weight: 3 pounds 2 ounces

I want to thank John for all the work he put into this sword and for fixing all my mistakes.

I would like this sword better if it was posted in the marketplace as opposed to the markers place :)

Excellent work Sean!

Verrrry nice work! I love the lines of the sword. The type XIV is one of my favorites.

Just so you folks know, the pommel was keyed onto tang and was peened. I mostly do everything this way now. Sean was also wanting historical accuracy for this piece. Good luck at school Sean, hope you get an A for the project.

Although the length of the blade is not great, the width is beefy. This one must be a super cutter. The lines are very pleasing and overall fit and finish are top notch. Great work John. I still have my two-hander in mind and will be getting with you this summer.

Hey, nice sword Sean and John. I would like to see more type XIV like this one. A multi-fullered one would be great. ;)

Is it possible to know what is the text engraved in the fuller ?
