Sword “Sellsword”
Early Renaissance decorative katzbalger
This sword was in use in Early Renaissance Europe, primarily as a sidearm for archers and pikemen of the Holy Roman Empire. It is also one of our favorite swords due to its design, which connects the past of Medieval Europe with the elegance of the Renaissance Age.
While the “Sellsword” armor is attributed to be simple and practical, the sword has an elaborate design. It features all the whistles and bells we love so much - an elegant brass-decorated guard, a wooden handle, a slightly darkened blade, and all those tiny details that show the owner knows things about the weapon and loves their sword.
Please note that this sword comes without a scabbard, but a complete set with a scabbard and mounting straps is available, too.
Important note: this item is intended to be used as a decorative piece only. This sword is not a weapon, it can't be sharpened and must be used only in places where it is safe: away from children and any other people and objects that may be accidentally harmed. Please use it responsibly and take into account that by buying this piece you confirm that you agree to take full responsibility for your safety and safety of other people that may be potentially harmed.
