The type is defined by its distinctive tri-lobed pommel, with a raised central lobe flanked by two lower ones, mounted on a solid, heavily built hilt assembly. Surviving examples are frequently recovered from burial contexts and associated with high-status individuals; the broad blade and wide fuller point to a sword built as much to project authority as to cut.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPart of our premium Primus range, this piece is developed with close adherence to these historical characteristics, replicating the traditional multi-part pommel construction of the originals rather than a simplified modern assembly, and handcrafted by Deepeeka to museum-reference standard.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA premium collector's piece, well suited to display, gifting, and serious Viking Age collections.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall Length 38''\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Length 31 7\/16''\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 3 lb 8.5 oz\u003cbr\u003e\nEdge Unsharpened\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth 42.3 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nThickness 4.4 mm - 4.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\nPommel Riveted and Threaded\u003cbr\u003e\nP.O.B. 4 3\/4''\u003cbr\u003e\nGrip Length 3 7\/8''\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":41322739793992,"sku":"PRS407","price":274.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5213\/8568\/files\/b30b5ea9-db2a-593b-a353-18ff5ba70128.jpg?v=1787304146","url":"https:\/\/norsealley.com\/products\/primus-petersen-type-d-viking-sword-scandinavia-9th-10th-century","provider":"Norse Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
