Henry V Sword By Arms & Armor – Model 075
A reproduction of the sword hung over the tomb of Henry the V of England. It has frequently been referred to as the archetype of the medieval sword. This is a sword that exemplifies the attributes that a knightly sword of the highest quality can exhibit. Its balance is superb, creating an exceptional fighting sword with fearsome cutting ability and excellent point control for the thrust. This might well be the very sword Henry carried at Agincourt.
Arms & Armor used notes and sketches contributed by Ewart Oakeshott for an exceptionally accurate reproduction. He first handled the sword when he was asked to conserve and study the original. A royal weapon, it would be an outstanding addition to your collection.
Of course there is a great review for this sword on our own site by Bill Grandy:

The Sword has not been sharpened. It has never been used or worn in costume events. The blade is in the same mint condition as it was when it was delivered from the factory. This was the sword I bought when I was putting together my 100 Years War persona, and it never came together. It literally kills me to put this up for sale, but my questing days are over and its time to let this beauty go to a good home in another fighter's castle or manor house. Light enough for a woman; Deadly enough for anyone! I have customized the pommel by placing a coin of Henry's realm into the inset of the pommel on both sides. (see detail)
