Mortuary Hilt Sword

(Ref: HW2004)

Replicating a finely-preserved museum piece, 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 forged from high-carbon steel, partially fullered and bears the sword maker's mark “1414”, the derivation of which has been lost in time.

Mortuary Hilt Sword (Antiqued)

(Ref: HW2004N)

Replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England, our Mortuary Hilt Sword (HW2004N) 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.

Practical Mortuary Hilt Sword

(Ref: HW2076)

The Practical Mortuary Hilt Sword is built for the Re-enactor. The basket is identical to that of the HW2004 (see above) but the blade is unsharpened with 1/16" edged and a round tip, complying with the combat rules of many re-enactment societies.
