SH2004N - Mortuary sword (antique finish)
Replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England, our Mortuary Hilt Sword
(SH2004) is a classic example of a cavalry or dragoon officer’s sword of the 17th century English Civil War
period. Deriving its name from the style of sword which memorialized King Charles I, who was executed in
1649, The Mortuary Hilt Sword’s steel basket is decorated with scrolled foliage while an engraved head of
Charles I appears on the pommel. The lozenge-section double-edged blade is partially fullered and bears
the swordmaker’s mark “1414”, the derivation of which has been lost in time. The leather handle wrap
terminates in silver wire “Turks Head” knots. The sword, like the original, is beautifully balanced.
