Viking Sword Replica

About the Viking Sword Replica

Part of the Historic Replica Guns catalog, the Viking Sword Replica is a reproduction built for display, costume and film work rather than for firing. It is cast, fitted and finished by hand, the moving parts operate like the original, and the barrel is solid, so no round can be chambered at any point.

Replica swords are sold blunt by law in most markets, and that is worth remembering when a listing says battle ready. The blades here are stainless or carbon steel, unsharpened, with a rounded or chamfered edge, and they are meant for display, costume and drill. They will not cut, and they should never be struck against another blade.

Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators: the standard finish fades unevenly in sunlight and heat dries the wood. A light coat of oil on a cloth, wiped over the metal twice a year, is enough. Store it in a cabinet or a presentation box rather than a foam case, because foam holds moisture against the metal.
