14th century armed sword
It is an early 14th century armed sword belonging to the XIV type in the Oakeshott classification. Known for its unique design and historical value. The sword body is wide and usually has four thin central blood grooves that extend to about half of the sword body. The hilt is designed for one handed use and is equipped with a slightly curved handguard and a wheel shaped hilt. It was very common in 13th and 14th century Europe. As soldiers transitioned from lock armor to plate armor, the use of this sword type in combat also changed, typically used in conjunction with small shields. It is an important reference for studying the development of medieval swordsmanship.
