Late medieval decoration sword rose wars 15th century incl. sword scabbard
The Battle of Tewkesbury, which took place during the Wars of the Roses on 4 May 1471, was a decisive victory for the House of York. It ended with the death of the young Lancastrian Crown Prince Edward of Wales, enabled King Edward IV to rule unchallenged for good and ushered in England's longest period of political stability in this conflict, which lasted several generations. When Edward IV died in 1483, however, the power struggles for the throne immediately broke out again. The long, double-edged blade is forged from hardened, heat-treated spring steel EN45. It tapers gently towards the pointed point and is fluted on both sides for about half of its length, with a flattened diamond-shaped cross-section towards the tip. The cutting edges are not sharpened and the continuous blade hinge is screwed to the end of the handle. The receptacle consists of a handle with a wooden core and black leather winding, a flattened steel quillon and an elongated, six-faceted plug pommel, also made of steel, with slightly concave sides. A cross is embedded in the pommel on one side. The parry bar is approx. 23 cm (9.1 in) long and 0.5 cm (0.2 in) thick. Its ends are widened and each decorated with a cut-out cross. The late medieval one-and-a-half-handed sword is delivered with a black wooden/leather scabbard with blued steel mouth and gable plate.

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.
