15th-Century Mercenary Arming Sword – Windlass Steelcrafts European Sword

Description:

Before standing armies, there were mercenaries—men who fought for coin, not king, and whose loyalty was measured in silver. These swords-for-hire needed weapons that were reliable, versatile, and deadly. The arming sword was their constant companion, a blade that could cut through the chaos of a battlefield with brutal efficiency. This 15th-Century Mercenary Arming Sword by Windlass Steelcrafts is a faithful recreation of those battlefield workhorses. Its blade is forged from high-carbon steel, prized for its edge retention and durability. The design is clean and purposeful—built for the hard realities of combat, not just the display case. The sword is fitted with a curved brass-colored crossguard and a disk-shaped pommel secured with a distinct center pin—hallmarks of late medieval arming swords. The dark grip provides a secure, confident hold, while the black leather-wrapped scabbard with brass-finish fittings ensures the blade is protected and ready for the next engagement. An integrated suspension strap allows for easy carry, whether in reenactment or on the wall. This sword is in great condition. The blade is sharp, the tang is full for maximum durability, and the carbon steel is free of rust. The leather scabbard is real and intact—not a synthetic reproduction. This is a functional, historically grounded piece, ready for reenactment, collection, or display.
