A faithful reproduction of a late 15th century German ‘writhen hilt’ sword, its grip and pommel worked in a distinctive twisted, spiralling form characteristic of the ornamental German Gothic style.
This striking sword is a faithful reproduction of a late 15th century German ‘writhen hilt’ sword — ‘writhen’ describing the twisted, spiralling worked-metal form of the grip and pommel, a hallmark decorative technique of the German Gothic period, when even functional knightly swords were routinely finished with the same sculptural flair applied to sacred and ceremonial metalwork.
Deepeeka’s reproduction faithfully recreates this distinctive writhen hilt form, part of our premium Primus/Medieval heritage range.
