Viking sword Oslo
The Viking sword was one of the most commonly used weapons in the Viking Age. The Viking sword was a really effective weapon on the battlefield; the presumed reasons for the sudden appearance of the Vikings at the end of the VIIIth century are century are manifold. The overpopulation in their home countries is one of the most frequently mentioned reasons for this demographic explosion, which occurred in Norway and Denmark during the VII and VIII centuries. In addition, the progressive establishment of stable rule in almost all of Western Europe, especially on the continent after the foundation of Charlemagne's empire, caused a remarkable increase in European trade, which meant opportunities for piracy. Their armament consisted of a sword or an axe, a spear and a shield, while most men carried a short knife on their belts. Of these weapons, the sword was the most popular, and this piece was looked upon with a certain respect, especially in the case of old swords that had been handed down through generations or plundered from burial mounds.

General information on the legal guarantee for swords
Like all other goods, our stage combat weapons are covered by the legal guarantee of at least two years. For consumers: if a defect (e.g. a material defect) becomes apparent within the period set by law – at least one year after delivery – it is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery. If a defect only becomes apparent later, it must be proven that it already existed at the time of delivery. By its very nature, a stage combat sword is subject to wear and tear. Even the best and most expensive stage combat sword will become notched after heavy use, and the cross-guard may become wobbly and the grip loose. This is normal, as strong forces act on the material. In rare cases a blade may even break if it has already been weakened by many deep notches. Such signs of wear resulting from use are generally not a defect. A used stage combat sword will show signs of use.
