Germanic swords from Vehi Mercatus

Germanic swords are not only weapons, but also works of art that bear witness to the culture and craftsmanship of the Germanic tribes.

But who were the Germanic tribes? They were an amalgamation of various Germanic tribes who lived in northern Europe during antiquity and the early Middle Ages. They experienced their heyday between the 1st and 4th centuries AD, when they were in contact and conflict with the Roman Empire.

The swords of the Germanic tribes were heavy and crude compared to later developments and improvements in forging techniques in the Middle Ages.

Their arsenal ranged from simple, straight swords to magnificent, ornate blades.

The materials used for these swords were just as varied as the swords themselves. Leather and wood were used for hilts and scabbards, while carbon steel forged the blades. Brass was used as a material for parrying elements or decorations, giving each sword an individual character. The leather scabbards were available in various colors, from classic brown to natural beige.

In general, the quillons of early medieval swords were not as well-defined as later pieces.
