Hank Reinhardt Henry V Sword Ref: IW-IP703 Henry V Sword - Original: Dates before 1422. Westminster Abbey, England. Type XVIII, Pommel-type: J.1 Cross-style: 9 This sword probably hung above the chantry of King Henry V until it either fell or was taken down and stowed away in an old chest in a room in the S. Triforium. Henry V, British monarch of the early 15th century, was not just a ruler but an accomplished warrior who began fighting as early as age fourteen, when he fought the Welsh forces of Owain Glyndwr. Throughout his life, Henry V fought in many battles, including against the French in the 100 Years' War. It is no wonder that he would have chosen such a practical, no-nonsense weapon. Ewart Oakeshott described this sword as "one of the most beautiful medieval swords to handle I have ever known." Generation 2 has painstakingly replicated this sword from a drawing belonging to Hank Reinhardt, according to his specifications. This sword exemplifies attributes of a knightly sword of the highest quality. It has superb balance, making it an exceptional fighting sword and excellent control of point for thrusting. Blade length: 27½" Handle/Hilt length: 6¼" Grip Length: 3¾" Overall: 34½" Quillion Length (Across): 8" Point of Balance: 3½" below hilt Weight: 2 lb., 13 oz. Price: $279.00 (Excluding MA Sales Tax at 6.25%)
