Custom Nobleman Sword, 14thC

Nobleman Sword - custom design, 14th century, inspired by original examples and historical sources. 
Dark brown grip color, brass pommel.

This particular sword was designed based on an existing example in the Musee de l'Armee in Paris. The spherical, faceted pommel is unique and we only know of two such examples in museums and a few in iconography. However, the sword from Paris is shorter, probably the blade of the original sword was shortened at some point, perhaps as a result of the tip breaking and repairs.
This custom design has a Latin inscription hand-engraved on the blade: VLTIMA RATIO REGVM (The last argument of kings).

This sword is not light, but thanks to the good balance and stiffness of the blade it is very handy and manoeuvrable. Additionally, the massive pommel is a powerful blunt weapon in close combat.
