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.
