This
sword rests in the Schloss Erbach Armoury and is a fine example of a high
medieval/renaissance sword (classified as an Oakeshott type XVIII A). This
is truly a beautiful example of a bastard sword, effective in the cut and
the thrust. The steel parts are highly decorative and the high carbon steel
blade is lightly hollow ground, giving the sword a great feel with one
or two hands. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Includes scabbard. Can
be seen in Records Of The Medieval Sword by Ewart Oakeshott.
