Discovered in a burial context at Hedeby (Haithabu) in present-day Denmark, this sword belonged to a warrior operating at the frontier of the Carolingian world - a region where trade, conflict, and cultural exchange were constant. Unlike purely Scandinavian finds, the Hedeby sword reflects this hybrid environment: its crossguard bears engraved motifs including both traditional Norse patterns and a distinctly visible cross, suggesting exposure to Christian symbolism during a period when Viking and Frankish worlds increasingly overlapped.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPart of our premium Primus range, Deepeeka's reproduction carefully recreates the engraved ornamentation of the original artefact.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA compelling piece for collectors interested in the cultural crossroads of the Viking Age.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall Length 34 15\/16''\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Length 28 1\/8''\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 2 lbs 15.2 oz\u003cbr\u003e\nEdge Unsharpened\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth 48 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nThickness 4.4 mm - 3.3 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nPommel Nut and Riveted\u003cbr\u003e\nP.O.B. 3 9\/16''\u003cbr\u003e\nGrip Length 4 1\/2''\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade [EN45 High Carbon Steel]\u003cbr\u003e\nClass Battle Ready\u003cbr\u003e\nCulture Viking\u003cbr\u003e\nManufacturer Deepeeka\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry of Origin India\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Deepeeka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41322733633608,"sku":"PRS414","price":274.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5213\/8568\/files\/PRS414.jpg?v=1787310555","url":"https:\/\/norsealley.com\/products\/primus-hedeby-viking-sword-9th-century-danish-frontier-sword","provider":"Norse Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
