Product description
The Celtic culture is known for its ironwork. In times of war the Celtic aristocracy often used richly decorated swords. This sword is a replica made after an original from around the 1st century AD. Around this period the swords were shorter than in preceding periods.
This sword has a length of 76 cm with a blade of 58 cm. The grip is made of wood and brass and is shaped like a styled human figure. Possibly this had a symbolic meaning and it protected the user of the sword. The blade is slightly leaf-shaped and made of carbon steel with a hardness of 48 HRC. It is delivered including a leather scabbard.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
