Guingate Sword
Maximilian was a great lover of arms and armor,
actually designing some armor that has since been named for him.
But more impressively, he was never one to hold back when there
was a good fight going on. In 1479, King Louis invaded the Netherlands,
where he was met by the Emperor Maximilian. In the short, bloody
battle, the French Cavalry defeated the Imperial Horse, but in the
end the field was held by the Flemish infantry, with the Emperor
fighting on foot in their midst. In honor of the battle we decided
to name this sword the Guingate. The blade is hand-forged of high-carbon
steel. Pommel and guard are beautifully finished brass, gorgeously
setting off the bone grip. We are proud to offer this truly lovely
sword. Includes leather scabbard. To
