The original sword that inspired this replica is preserved in the Art Institute of Chicago and dates to the 10th century, during the height of the Viking Age. Its richly decorated silver hilt suggests that it once belonged to a warrior of considerable status, as swords of this quality were prestigious possessions owned by accomplished fighters and nobles rather than ordinary soldiers. Inspired by an original 10th century, developed in collaboration with historical researcher Petar Djurickovic.
