The German Longsword by Darksword Armory: Historical Medieval Replica In Stock Now!

A Piece of 15th-Century History For all aficionados of European swordsmanship, we have a very special new arrival: The German Longsword by Darksword Armory. This exceptional weapon is based on strict historical accuracy and perfectly captures the aesthetics of the late European Middle Ages. It is directly inspired by a famous 15th-century German original, which, after being exhibited at the Musée de Cluny, now holds a place of honor in the collections of the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Masterful Late Gothic Design (Oakeshott Type XVIIIa – XVIIIb) Classified by Oakeshott, this sword represents the pinnacle of late medieval weapon design—an era when blades evolved to counter the increasingly heavy plate armor of the aristocracy. The blade features a hollow-ground diamond cross-section, reducing its weight while maintaining a devastatingly rigid point, ideal for both precise thrusts and powerful cuts. The elegantly twisted crossguard arms and the wheel pommel, meticulously decorated with a carved cord motif, reflect the architectural tracery of the Gothic period.

Lively in the Hand, Deadly in Impact Despite its impressive overall length of 129 cm and a weight of 1.65 kg, this sword is perfectly balanced. It responds exceptionally well and feels "alive" in the wielder's hands. The characteristics of this Gothic longsword make it a premier choice for collectors.
