Wallace collections:
# Sword
# Unknown Artist / Maker
#
# France or England
# 2nd half of 14th century
# Iron or steel, copper and cord
# Length: 76.2 cm
Width: 6 cm
Weight: 1.36 kg
# Maker's mark: inlaid in copper, 16.5cm from hilt
# A460
# European Armoury I
Although in excavated condition, this archetypal late-medieval fighting sword has survived the centuries extraordinarily well. Given its date, it may well have been carried into battle during the Hundred Years War between England and France, which began with the famous Battle of Crécy in 1346 and closed with the Battle of Castillon in 1453. Formerly in the comte de Nieuwerkerke’s collection, its earlier provenance is unknown, but there is a strong likelihood that it was found in France, the distinctive corrosion patterns on the blade indicating perhaps that it was a river find. The grip binding is a later (probably 19th century) restoration.
