This majestic 15th century sword is of a type which became popular among medieval knights due to the increased use of plate armour on the battlefield. Wielded with two hands, the superior length and weight of this weapon meant it could deliver a more powerful blow to an opponent. This one has a pommel which is rounded at the tip, and straight quillions at right angles to the grip. An object with wide appeal, this would make a fantastic retirement gift, a heroic romantic gesture, or perhaps an inspirational way to remember someone who had a fighting spirit.
