{"product_id":"viking-raider-sword-11th-century-pattern","title":"Viking Raider Sword – 11th Century Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eA late Viking Age sword pattern reflecting the closing century of Norse seaborne raiding and settlement.\u003cbr\u003e\nBy 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDeepeeka has recreated this piece as part of our late Viking Age range, faithful to the proportions and two-part pommel construction of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWell suited to collectors of Viking Age history, living history enthusiasts, and Norse-themed display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Deepeeka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41328220569672,"sku":"AH7045R_LP","price":175.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5213\/8568\/files\/ea7a715b-7dd3-5c4f-a56d-3c2c2b3abc83.jpg?v=1787643450","url":"https:\/\/norsealley.com\/products\/viking-raider-sword-11th-century-pattern","provider":"Norse Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
