The Type S was commissioned by Rob Oxley so I am not sure what the inspiration was... It does resemble the Huskarl and AFAIK Type S with curved guards are rare in the archeological record. Let me say that Cervenka has had other S type Viking swords with curved guards on his website (mod. 200018 & 200019) that were there before Albion published Peter's conceptual drawings of the Huskarl. It is possible that the review sword is a modification of one of these.

Hi Kirk
Thanks for the clarification. Honestly I don't think it matters where the inspiration for the type S comes from. The end result is different enough.

Excellent reviews, guys! As others have noted, the Cervenka's seem to be an interesting quality vs cost value.
