PAUL CHEN 1049 CROMWELL SWORD
 |
|
 |
|
Oliver Cromwell (1599 – 1658) was a powerful figure in English history
during and after the English Civil War, when he rose from the rank of Captain
of Horse to Lord Protector of England. His sword, said to have been carried
at the battle of Drogheda in 1649, has been remarkably well preserved and features
in the collection of the Royal Armouries in Leeds, England, where it is displayed
in the permanent collection. Our Cromwell Sword is an accurate replica of the
original “mortuary” hilt style and features a blackened guard decorated
in a gold foliage pattern with a wire-wound sharkskin grip. As the original
sword now lacks a scabbard, we have provided a design typical of the period.
This piece of English history is a must for the ECW collector and re-enactor.
