• 17.5" x 13" PERFECT SIZE TO SHOW ALL YOUR SWORDS IN YOUR BEST LIGHT: Is there anything better than welcoming good friends to a festive feast or a memorable wedding and sharing a good beer surrounded by your favorite swords proudly displayed on your elegant wooden stands, like distant echoes from a distant past?

The original sword on which this replica is based is housed in the French Army Museum in Paris (Musée de l'Armée) and was made in Western Europe between 1300 and 1350, during a transitional period in medieval warfare when mail armor was still dominant but was gradually reinforced with additional plates.

Swords of this type were typically used in conjunction with a buckler or shield, making them versatile revolvers on both the battlefield and civilian level.

This particular sword is a faithful reproduction, carefully crafted to the exact measurements of the original. The leaf has a lenticular cross-section with a channel that ends at two-thirds of its length. The sword is classified as Type XIV due to its relatively short blade, with a sturdy, wide profile that tapers into a strong, sharp tip. This rigid blade is ideal for both cutting and stowing, while its considerable width makes it easy to lock and move the opponent's blade. While most Type XIV swords have curved guards and wheel knobs, this one features a straight guard (Oakeshott Style 2) and a spherical hilt topped by a protruding block. The added riveted button block has a practical function as it provides greater length to the tenon. This design feature makes it easy to disassemble or further modify the bar, ensuring its longevity and adaptability. 

Its most distinctive feature is the brass button in the shape of a faceted sphere, with polyhedral faces. While it doesn't exactly fit a single type of Oakeshott, it is very similar to Type R pommels and is reminiscent of those seen later on basket-handled swords, such as those recovered from the sinking of the Mary Rose. 

The sword is even more beautiful because of its details in its design. The combination of the red hilt and scabbard with the yellow brass hilt evokes the image of a high-ranking weapon, fit for a nobleman. This attention to detail extends to the brass cap, where the finial reflects the button, creating a cohesive and elegant design.

This is why he is called The Seneschal, le Sénéschal, (Chief or chief of the nobility, whom he ruled, especially in war or Butler of the Royal House) reflecting the authority and importance of a key figure in the medieval hierarchy.
