Hildebrand, German Longsword, late 14thC

'Hildebrand', German Longsword, 14th century, inspired by original examples from European museums. 
Dark brown grip with 3 risers.
The name Hildebrand comes from Old German, combining hild (“battle") and brand (“sword"), meaning “battle sword" or “he who fights with the sword."

General characteristics and historical context
A longsword, representative of a characteristic group of swords known from the central European workshops. This sword reflects many of important features for this significant family of swords, such as: wide blade with close to paralell edges, relatively large weight, massive round pommel, large crossguard with strongly flared ends.
On the massive round pommel of the classic type, there is a brass peenblock in the form of a washer, often found in this group of swords.
The details of the sword bear traces of handwork, of course, their form and finish are stylistically very similar to the original examples, which gives a unique form and character to this sword.
These longswords are one of my favorite types. Both because of their classic form and beautiful proportions.

Features and Handling
A sword designed for two hands, but not too heavy (1715g) well balanced (PoB 90mm from the crossguard). 
A sword designed primarily for sweeping cuts and breaking blows. It also performs well in fencing techniques.
