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 the Horse to 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 Armories 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 with a gold foliage pattern with a wire-wound, sharkskin grip. The sword also has an antiqued, high carbon, spring steel blade. As the original sword now lacks a scabbard, Hanwei has provided a design typical of the period. This piece of English history is a must for the English Civil War collector and re-enactor.
