Sword designers conjured up a magic combination - a rapier style guard with a blade somewhere between a rapier and a cutting sword. The sword rapier became the sword of choice for most of the military. It was carried by many combatants in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648 AD).

Tempered for strength. 17th Century, Museum Quality English Short Sword. English Short Sword It is most likely that the small sword originated in the courts of Louis XIV of France where it was worn instead of the rapier. Certainly by the 1660's new styles of fencing were being taught where the emphasis was to use the sword blade itself for both offence and defence instead of the rapier and main gauche styles of the previous 100 years. It was also realised that in a duel between swordsmen of equal skill the man with the lighter weapon would have an advantage over his opponent. After the restoration of Charles II the small sword appears in England and as swords were worn by gentlemen as part of their everyday costume, small swords were more convenient to wear as oppose to rapiers. The small sword developed over the following century employing a variety of different blade styles, hilts and method of decoration, but in essence, a typical small sword had a small pommel, slim grip over a shell guard. A knuckle bow protected the fingers and often there were a pair of finger-rings just above the shell guard for extra grip. The blade was narrow, double-edged or triangular in section and hollow ground blades were considered the best, not only for their strength but for the lightness they imparted into the weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features: EN45 Spring Steel Historically accurate High Quality Construction Specification: Blade Length. 82 cm Blade Width. 2.4 cm Grip Length. 11 cm Overall Length. 99 cm Weight. 0.9 kg Historically accurate EN45 Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Barnett","offers":[{"title":"UNDER 18 DON'T BUY","offer_id":27834776519,"sku":"S5724M - 01","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"I AM OVER 18","offer_id":27834776583,"sku":"S5724M - 02","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/6169\/products\/s5724_english_sh_4ad0fa9811271.jpg?v=1471487377"},{"product_id":"viking-broadsword-s5710m","title":"Viking Broadsword Replica","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003eReference Number S5710M\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eViking Broadsword Replica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViking Broadsword Museum Quality\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by John Barnett Viking Broadsword Museum Quality These swords are maticulously hand crafted.

In Scotland from the mid 17th century the baskethilt became a popular replacement for the large two-handed claymore. Most Scottish baskethilts have well formed steel guards often pierced with decorative shapes, the blades are usually very well tempered imported German types and the wooden grip is often to be found covered in shark skin on swords of quality.

Edward I (17 June 1239 – 7 July 1307), also known as Edward Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots, was King of England from 1272 to 1307. The first son of Henry III, Edward was involved early in the political intrigues of his father's reign, which included an outright rebellion by the English barons. In 1259, he briefly sided with a baronial reform movement, supporting the Provisions of Oxford. After reconciliation with his father, however, he remained loyal throughout the subsequent armed conflict, known as the Second Barons War. After the Battle of Lewes, Edward was hostage to the rebellious barons, but escaped after a few months and joined the fight against Simon de Montfort. Montfort was defeated at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, and within two years the rebellion was extinguished. With England pacified, Edward left on a crusade to the Holy Land. The crusade accomplished little, and Edward was on his way home in 1272 when he was informed that his father had died. Making a slow return, he reached England in 1274 and he was crowned king at Westminster on 19 August.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEN45 Spring Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically accurate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh Quality Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecification Blade Length 91cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Width 5.8cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrip Length 17cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length 118cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight 2.5kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Barnett","offers":[{"title":"UNDER 18 DON'T BUY","offer_id":27834868871,"sku":"S5776 - 01","price":129.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"I AM OVER 18","offer_id":27834869063,"sku":"S5776 - 02","price":129.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/6169\/products\/s5776_edward_i_s_4b5365dd7f6a5.jpg?v=1471487449"},{"product_id":"richard-the-lionheart-sword-by-john-barnett-s5777","title":"RICHARD THE LIONHEART SWORD BY JOHN BARNETT - S5777","description":"\u003cp\u003eKing Richard The Lionheart Museum Quality Sword\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRef: S5777M Made by John Barnett A beautiful, historically accurate, hand forged replica sword made from EN45 spring steel from one of Scotland's leading weaponry designers and forgers.

During the English Civil war period both mortuary swords with half basket type hilts and a variety of rapier styles were standard swords to be encountered on the battlefield. Many rapiers were to be found with heavier blades so that the sword was better suited to the rigours of warfare. Swept Hilt Rapier The word \"rapier\" generally refers to a relatively long-bladed sword characterized by a complex hilt which is constructed to provide protection for the hand wielding it. While the blade might be broad enough to cut to some degree (but nowhere near that of the wider, slightly heavier swords in use around the Middle Ages), the long thin blade lends itself to thrusting. The blade might be sharpened along its entire length, sharpened only from the center to the tip (as described by Capoferro), or completely without a cutting edge as called “estoc” by Pallavicini, a rapier master who, in 1670, strongly advocated using a weapon with two cutting edges. A typical example would weigh 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) and have a relatively long and slender blade of 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) or less in width, 1 metre (39 in) or more in length and ending in a sharply pointed tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features: EN45 Spring Steel Historically accurate High Quality Construction Specification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length 120cm Blade Length 94cm Blade Width 3.2cm Grip Length 11cm Sword Weight. 1.55kg Weight With Scabbard. 1.8kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Barnett","offers":[{"title":"UNDER 18 DON'T BUY","offer_id":27835800071,"sku":"S5779 - 01","price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"I AM OVER 18","offer_id":27835800135,"sku":"S5779 - 02","price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/6169\/products\/s5779.jpg?v=1471488155"},{"product_id":"1400-era-hand-and-a-half-s5737m","title":"1400 Era Hand And A Half Sword Replica","description":"\u003ch2\u003e1400 Era Hand And A Half Sword Replica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003eS5737M\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand \u0026amp; Half Combat Sword, Museum Quality These swords are meticulously hand crafted.

The longsword is commonly held in combat with both hands, though some may be used single-handed. Longswords are used for striking, cutting, and thrusting.

There they found two ancient Elven swords and a knife. The exact history of these blades is not certain, but when the Elf lord Elrond examined them in Rivendell he determined they were well-known and ancient blades used in the Goblin Wars to slay many Orcs in the First Age. The sword named Glamdring was forged by the high Elves of the West, in the hidden city of Gondolin. Glamdring survived, only to be found thousands of years later by Gandalf and his companions. Glamdring is an exquisite example of the height of Elven swordcraft, and a weapon befitting an Elven king. Gandalf claimed Glamdring for his own and wielded the sword through the Quest for Erebor, using it against the Goblins of the Misty Mountains, and later on the quest to destroy the One Ring. The great sword remained at Gandalf’s side until the end of his days in Middle-earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis authentically detailed replica is a reproduction of the actual filming prop built by Weta Workshop of New Zealand and used in the motion picture, THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY.

During the Siege of the Castle Chateau de Chalus-Charbrol Richard was fatally shot by a crossbowman. Richard was walking around the perimeter of the castle, without armor on, when we spotted a crossbowman wielding a crossbow in one hand and a frying pan in the other hand. Throughout the day the crossbowman had used the frying pan as a shield to deflect enemy arrows. As Richard looked up the crossbowman aimed and fired an arrow at Richard, which struck him in the shoulder by the neck. Richard tried to remove the arrow by himself, but when he failed to do so summoned the field surgeon (or butcher) to remove the arrow. The field surgeon managed to remove the arrow, but not before the wound became gangrenous. As Richard lay dying he summoned the crossbowman who had hit him. Richard forgave the boy, set him free and awarded him 100 shillings. Richard is reported to have died a few days later in his mothers arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES: Blade: The blade of the sword has been constructed from 440 Stainless Steel with a ridge down the middle.
