Viking Raider Sword – 11th Century Pattern

A late Viking Age sword pattern reflecting the closing century of Norse seaborne raiding and settlement.
By the 11th century, the age of the great Viking raids was drawing to a close, giving way to settled Norse kingdoms and an increasingly Christianised Scandinavia - yet the sword remained the ultimate symbol of a warrior's rank and reputation. This piece reflects that late Viking Age moment, carrying the iconic two-part pommel construction seen across period finds, where the pommel cap was fitted and secured separately from the base rather than cast as a single unit - a hallmark of genuine Viking Age hilt-building.

Deepeeka has recreated this piece as part of our late Viking Age range, faithful to the proportions and two-part pommel construction of the period.

Well suited to collectors of Viking Age history, living history enthusiasts, and Norse-themed display.
