Description

The Paul Chen Hand-and-a-Half Sword is authentically replicated from a sword thought to be that of Albrecht II of Austria and represents the pinnacle of beauty and balance in medieval swords. Classically simple in design with a flattened diamond-section blade and cruciform hilt, the original sword dates from the early part of the 15th century. The “Lion Rampant” emblem of the Habsburg dynasty is engraved in the pommel, while the Passau “Running Wolf” guild mark and a marigold maker’s mark appear on the blade fuller. Both the grip and the scabbard of the half and a half sword are leather covered over a cord wrap. Fully functional and ready for re-enactment battles, the Paul Chen Hand-and-a-Half Sword offers excellent handling and balance.

This fully functional broad sword is tailored to meet the demands of reenactment and stage combat.
