Elite Longsword V

Elite Longsword V, early 15th century, inspired by original examples and historical sources, mostly German and Southern Europe. 
Black grip color.

This sword is a good representation of a group of longswords from central and southern Europe, dating from around 1370-1430. Pommels of a similar type can be found in museums all over Europe, but they come mainly from workshops attributed to Germany and Hungary. These pommels are often very large and massive, providing a good counterweight to the long sword, bringing the point of balance closer to the crossguard. Thanks to this, these swords allow you to quickly and easily maneuver the blade in different directions and planes.
The characteristic crossguard type, with strongly flared ends, is very popular in this period.
The handle is tapered, with a bulge in the middle separating the sections of both hands. 
The rear hand has a solid and secure support on the wide bottom of the pommel. That pommel can be also used as an additional weapon in close combat.
This type of blade (Oakshott classifies it as XVIa and XVII) developed in the 14th century and was popular in parallel with blades without fullers (Oakeshott Types XVa, XVIIIb).
This is an exquisite weapon of a late medieval knight, intended for a noble swordsman.
