Stemming from the 15th century original, the Hand and a Half sword is reminiscent of history. Its simple and practical design is fashioned after the original once held by Albert II, Duke of Austria, founder of the Albertinian House Rule that would come to be one of the fundamental rules in Austrian law until 1918.

This replica blade is fashioned with a unique flattened diamond-section blade, the pinnacle of fine craftsmanship and beauty in Medieval sword making. Fashioned from high quality carbon steel, the blade is expertly trimmed and balanced for superior performance worthy of the Duke himself.

The pommel features the original "Lion Rampart" emblem, representative of the Hadsburg dynasty and Albert's rule while the "Running Wolf" emblem decorates the blade fuller. The grip and scabbard are beautifully wrapped in cord and leather for quality and comfort. The entire sword can be styled in a unique "antiquated finish" for an authentic 15th century look.

This is a piece of Austrian history that is sure to make a fine impression in your collection.
