European 14th Century Arming Sword - Royal Armouries Collection

Whether you’re a seasoned reenactor, historical sword aficionado, or a collector seeking a centerpiece, this 14th Century European Arming Sword delivers authenticity in both design and feel. With its broad, flattened-diamond blade, finely faceted pommel, and inward-curving crossguard, this piece reflects the artistry of a knight’s trusted sidearm during the early stages of the Hundred Years' War.

The light but commanding blade has a noticeable presence—ideal for both cut and thrust techniques. Its double-edged blade features a subtle fuller for weight reduction without compromising strength. With a hilt that sits comfortably in the hand, this weapon is built for control and speed.

The original sword—Royal Armouries #IX.2141—was discovered in a peat bog, remarkably preserved alongside a similar blade now housed in Rome. This style of arming sword was widespread in Europe during the 14th century and would have been carried by knights at the dawn of the Hundred Years' War.

Its distinctive features—the leaf-like blade shape, the gracefully swelling crossguard, and the sharply angled pommel—indicate a weapon not only of war but of status. Now housed in the Royal Armouries, this historic piece has been faithfully reproduced by Windlass Steelcrafts for modern collectors and martial artists.
