Cromwell Sword – A Piece of History
Yet another amazing replication by Paul Chen, and this time it’s an authentic replica of the very sword used by a prominent English figure way back in the historical periods of the 1640s and even after the English war. Oliver Cromwell used this particular sword, now known as the Cromwell Sword, in the battle of Drogheda in 1649.
This sword is a highly detailed and historically accurate replica of the original sword, which is now preserved as part of the Royal Armouries collection in Leeds. Like the original, the replica is around 43” in overall length, generally made up of a 32” long blade and a 6” long handle, which features a black guard with a golden foliage pattern along with a wire-wound sharkskin grip design.
Paul Chen’s officially license replica of the Cromwell Sword is very much fully functional just like the original. Perhaps the only difference it takes from the original is that it comes with a scabbard designed to fit the historical period, making it more attractive for authentic medieval swords fans who have a taste for English history.
