15TH CENTURY LONGSWORD

The longsword, often called a hand - and - half, saw a great deal of service as a weapon of war, but was also employed a great deal as a civilian weapon of self - defense.
Coupled with a dagger, the longsword was an excellent defense against robbers, thieves, footpads, assassins and even some of the robber bands that might roam the countryside.
A good serviceable point allowed it to be used for thrusting, and a medium weight allowed it to be used easily and carried with equal ease.
This weight also allowed it to be used with one hand with a dagger in the other.
But when needed, it could be gripped with both hands for a very powerful cut.
This is a beautiful and very functional sword with steel pommel and guard.
The grip is wood wrapped with leather and wire.
15Th Century Long Sword includes scabbard.
