Mid/Late 13th Century ‘Latten’ Copper Pommel Oakeshott Type XVI Sword Swords

~ Mid/Late 13th Century ‘Latten’ Copper Pommel Oakeshott Type XVI Sword ~

A flat cutting blade which steadily tapers to an acute point reinforced by a clearly defined ridge, making it equally effective for thrusting.

This type somewhat resembles a more slender version of type XIV.

These swords appear in the contemporary artwork of San Gimignano and many other works.

A part of the original wooden grip is still preserved, as is the nice brass pommel of the piece.

~ Condition ~

The sword is in excavated condition, as seen in the pictures.

~ Dimensions ~

The blade length is 80cm and the overall length of the piece is 97.5cm.
