Mortuary Hilt Sword
Mortuary Hilt Sword Ref: CI-SH2004
Replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England, our Mortuary-Hilt Sword is a classic example of a cavalry or dragoon officer’s sword of the 17th-century English Civil War period. Deriving its name from the style of sword which memorialized King Charles I, who was executed in 1649, the Mortuary-Hilt Sword’s steel basket is decorated with scrolled foliage while an engraved head of Charles I appears on the pommel. The lozenge-section double-edged blade is partially fullered and bears the swordmaker’s mark “1414”, the derivation of which has been lost in time. The leather handle wrap terminates in silver wire “Turks Head” knots. The sword, like the original, is beautifully balanced. Also available in darkened antiqued finish.

The sword's hilt is crafted from polished stainless steel, to minimize maintenance. The grip is covered with leather. The scabbard is covered in black leather.

See model CI-SH2076 for the “Practical” version of the Mortuary-Hilt Sword (un-edged, for training and stage combat).
