Product Details
TYPE S SWORD
It is believed that Type S swords arose in the 10th century from the older type D Viking swords. However, there are also type S swords depicted into Carolingian illuminated manuscripts.
The S types retain the large bulbous central lobe of the D types but have a more semicircular shape. Viking swords of Type S are commonly found in Nordic countries and Eastern Europe, with only a small number found in Western Europe.
