The Munich
Limited Edition Medieval War Sword
(Oakeshott Type XVIIIb)

This sword is inspired by the beautiful long sword in the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in Munich, Germany, that Peter Johnsson has documented thoroughly (an exact recreation of that sword will be the next sword in the Museum Line).

Though not as ornate as its inspiration, this sword will share the same general look, feel and performance of that original, which Peter described as "...a marvellous sword it is! I should think one of the absolute best, all categories. Weight, balance, character, looks: everything is outstanding and just perfect. A sublime sword."

This edition is available in two models - one with the period half-wire wrap, and one without. There are slight differences in the performance statistics of the sword for each version, as noted below.
