Renaissance Clothing and Weapons For Lords and Ladies

Medieval
Naming this age the Dark Ages does not do it justice. This can be seen in our extensive selection and accurately researched replicas of arms, armor and clothing of this exciting period. It was a time of re-organization and invention, a time that brought us mythical figures like King Arthur and one where the weapons and armor of the time were truly instrumental in its shaping.

Classic Medieval Sword
This sword is an Oakeshott Type X with a Type I pommel and a Type VII crossguard. The long and wide fuller on this blade lightens the overall sword and makes it possible to deliver fast and shearing cuts capable of cutting through the mail and padding that were worn during the period. The long guard offers good protection from an opponent's shield or blade while the classic wheel pommel brings the sword very nicely into balance. This type of sword was in service for a long period of time throughout all of Europe. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.. Overall-39 1/2". Blade-33" long, 2" wide. Wt.-3 lbs. Circa 1300

Long Sword
Despite having several names - War Sword, Great Sword, Long Sword and even Two-Hand Sword - and causing some confusion among collectors, the large sword was quite a popular weapon. Its great length gave it both reach and power, since the length increased the velocity substantially. However, with the addition of the long ricasso, the sword became even more formidable. The ricasso allowed the sword to be gripped past the guard, thus shortening the sword and allowing it to be used as short spear. This made a thrust more solid since the blade is held securely at two separate points. Our version of this sword is as formidable weapon as the originals. The blade is high carbon steel, tempered to a tough spring, the grip is ridged wood, wrapped with leather, and the pommel and guard are steel. Comes complete with leather scabbard. This is an interesting sword type that belongs in all collections of swords. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.. Scabbard included. #500794 ($5 add. s/h) Overall-48" Blade-38" long, 1 7/8" wide, 3/16" thick Wt-3 lbs

Crecy War Sword
The long series of campaigns between England and France from 1337 to 1453, known collectively as the Hundred years War (although it actually spanned 120 years), all took place in France. The war had its origin in disputes over lands held in fief by the English crown, the aid given by the French to the Scots in their wars against England and French interference with the profitable wool trade between the English and Flemish cities. The war began when Edward III of England claimed his right to the French throne through his mother Isabella, daughter of the French King Philip IV. We have chosen two sword types, one French, one English, that saw service during this period . Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Includes leather scabbard.

War Sword
This type of large sword was used throughout the Middle Ages across Europe. Sized so that it could be used easily with one hand but large enough for a two-handed powerful cut. Parts are steel while the grip is hardwood with wire and rawhide. Blade is well-tempered high carbon steel. Comes with scabbard. A good all around Medieval sword. Made by Windlass
Steelcrafts®. #500924.$165

Falchion Sword
Although its prevalence in Medieval art testifies to its popularity, very few original falchions still exist. This rarity of surviving specimens may be more proof of its popularity; most of the falchions were used up in battle! Although the double-edged sword gets most of the press, the single-edged falchion was favored by a great many knights and men at arms. The wide cutting blade was quite effective against mail (although armor ws being improved by the addition of plates, only the very wealthy could afford it). Although the falchion was intended primarily to be a cutting weapon, the development of the point was not ignored. This example has a very strong point that would penetrate mail with the hard thrust or stab. A well-designed fighting weapon. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.. The blade is tempered high carbon steel, the guard and pommel are both steel, and the grip is wood, covered with leather. Complete with a leather scabbard.
