Templar Sword and scabbard, circa 1250

Templar Sword, classic medieval one handed sword, circa 1250, inspired by original examples from European museums. 
Black grip with 6 risers, straight crossguard, brass pommel.

The sword is light, gives excellent control, simple in form, with a comfortable ergonomic handle. It will also work perfectly in practicing the techniques from the manuscript I:33.
This typological form of the sword, so common in the 13th century, has become synonymous with the classic type of knightly sword of medieval Europe. As you can see, it is a simple, cross-shaped form, devoid of ornaments and decorations, purely functional and characteristic.

Scabbard

The whole represents the classic style of integrated belting, most characteristic of this period. The belt has brass fittings modeled on period equivalents. The scabbard chape is a copy of an original find (Nationalmuseet, Copenhagen, Denmark).
On the scabbard there is a handmade Templar sign, known from the seal: two riders on one horse, as well as their motto in Latin: Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam (Not to us Lord, not to us, but to Your Name give the glory).

From a technical point of view, it is worth noting and paying attention to the fact that none of the embossing lines were made here with a ruler or board, everything is hand-made. The same goes for symbols and inscriptions, everything was made by eye and hand, without stamps. Small stamps were only used to imprint two small crosses. In addition, all the cutting of the strips, their measurement and sections, are made by free hand, which requires a lot of skill and experience. In this way, the whole thing is more authentic and medieval, both as a handicraft and as a historical reconstruction.

Knights Templar (Christi Pauperum Militum Ordo)
The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Salomonici), commonly known as the Knights Templar, the Order of Solomon's Temple (French: Ordre du Temple or Templiers) or simply as Templars, were among the wealthiest and most powerful of the Western Christian military orders. They were prominent in Christian finance. The organization existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages.

Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church around 1129, the order became a favoured charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. Non-combatant members of the order managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom, developing innovative financial techniques that were an early form of banking,and building fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land.

The Templars were closely tied to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the order faded. Rumours about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created distrust, and King Philip IV of France – deeply in debt to the order – took advantage of the situation to gain control over them. In 1307 he had many of the order's members in France arrested, tortured into giving false confessions, and burned at the stake. Pope Clement V disbanded the order in 1312 under pressure from King Philip. (source: Wikipedia)
