This listing is marked SOLD and is no longer available
By now I’m sure these need little or no introduction. Mateusz makes first rate swords and scabbards. This sword was made as a facsimile of the Alexandria artefact we know and love, with its original markings: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/23189
The XVIIIc has become popular for HEMA competitive cutting for good reason and this one is simply a beast of a sword. Authoritative in the cut and bind but agile despite instead of being tip heavy due to the width of the strong of the blade and guard also providing a very stiff thrust.
Hilt is blackened/browned to an attractive dark finish. Comes with chivalric brass mounted belt and 3 point suspension wood core leather scabbard & chape. Leather tooling sheath design is based on a Thames river find.
