Early 16thC German Bastard sword A479
£3,300.00
The sword is based very accurately on A479 from the Wallace Collection, which I measured and handled personally for the project.
The sword is very distinctive and is probably a 19thC composite, but of a early 16thC German style and features a very heavily hollow ground blade.
There is no doubt this is a chunky long or bastard sword, but because of the relatively short blade. It feels surprisingly mobile in the hand.
