The guard is simple but effective, and the once-wide Viking pommel has here transformed into an elongated brazil-nut form — a shape that would come to dominate European swords for the next two centuries — while the blade retains the wide, spatulate-tip profile more reminiscent of earlier Viking swords, capturing a sword design caught between two eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeepeeka offers this transitional piece as part of our late Viking Age range, bridging two eras of European swordsmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA valuable piece for collectors interested in the Viking-to-Medieval transition, and suited to living history groups portraying this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Length: 32 7\/8″ (approx. 83.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Length: 27 1\/4″ (approx. 69.2 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 2 lbs 12 oz (approx. 1.25 kg)\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Width: 50.8 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Thickness: 5.2 mm – 5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nPoint of Balance: 6″ (approx. 15.2 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nGrip Length: 3 15\/16″ (approx. 10.0 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Material: C60 high-carbon steel\u003cbr\u003e\nEdge: Blunted\u003cbr\u003e\nPommel: Peened\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Deepeeka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41202920325192,"sku":"AH7053F_ST","price":192.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5213\/8568\/files\/e8dca739-6a6a-5f22-9957-864f55b932b8.jpg?v=1783596827","url":"https:\/\/norsealley.com\/products\/late-viking-transitional-pattern-sword-10-11c","provider":"Norse Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
