I'm in need of a single handed reenactment sword for my role in our Knights Hospitaller group. We are set in approximately 1250. But, I am also planning to go to the Battle of Hastings reenactment in 2012. If at all possible, I would prefer to just buy one sword that I can use for both events so I can spend more money on other items (soft kit, maille, helmets, etcetera).
Is there any kind/type of sword that would be suitable for both periods? I quite like the look of a long, narrow cross guard and a brazilnut pommel, but I think that's way too old fashioned for 1250. Thanks in advance! |
Hastings says you? I'll be seeing you there says I! Finally dragging my sorry butt back there this year if it's on - weather permitting and for the foreseeable future.
Anyone local to the Colchester area, there is a big viking fayre during June/July. Let's have some meads :)
