When such swords are examined it becomes apparent that they are to be placed more in the 16th century period than in the early 1300s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most likely sword type being used by William Wallace during the wars of Scottish independence may have shown some of the features found on swords of a century or so later. It would be fare to assume that langlets may have been present on a fairly substantial cross-hilt and there would likely have been terminals to the quillions of some shape or another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pommel could have been wheel shaped, spherical or pear shaped. In combat a knight always would select a plain robust sword of high quality-Wallace would have been no exception to this rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features Specification -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from EN45 spring steel -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically accurate -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Length: 32¼\" - Blade Width: 2½\" -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrip Length: 9½\" -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length: 54¼\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Barnett","offers":[{"title":"UNDER 18 DON'T BUY","offer_id":27834560967,"sku":"S5702M - 01","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"I AM OVER 18","offer_id":27834561031,"sku":"S5702M - 02","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/6169\/products\/S5702M.jpg?v=1520525219"},{"product_id":"robert-the-bruce-sword-by-john-barnett-s5773","title":"Robert The Bruce Sword Replica by John Barnett","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRef: S5773\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum Quality Made by John Barnett\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Robert the Bruce Sword - Museum Quality This is a beautiful, historically accurate, hand forged replica sword made from EN45 spring steel from one of UK's leading weaponry designers and forgers.
