Medieval Swords for Sale

I live in a town that loves its medieval reenactment. Our town has no authentic claim to medieval history, but about a century ago, some eccentric millionaire built a fairly accurate replica of a castle right near the middle of the town. The rest, as they say, is history; tourists were drawn to the impressive and ostentatious site, and a creative anachronism community sprung up to cater to their tastes. You can scarcely walk down the streets without seeing medieval swords for sale alongside talismans, chainmail and Renaissance clothing.

I run a small tavern in town, and have been reworking it to have a more historical theme so it will draw in the tourists. I teamed up with a local shopkeeper to offer medieval swords for sale in addition to poison rings, embroidered bags and other Renaissance-style trinkets. I wanted to put in a bit of authenticity, so rather than offering purely decorative medieval weapons, I sought ones that were as close as possible to the arms people wielded during the middle ages. It turned out that that was easier said than done.

Like other sorts of manufacturers, people who make medieval swords for sale like to produce their wares as cheaply as possible. Therefore, authenticity isn't always stressed. The ones that are sold for decoration have elaborate ornamentation installed, but couldn't stand up to a battle. The ones that are more rugged are often created using modern metal forging techniques that would not have been available during the Middle Ages. Even the swordsmiths who try to forge authentic medieval swords often use the same technique for all their swords rather than trying to manufacture each type of sword according to the method used during its era.

Faced with so many different options, I decided to go as authentic as I could without pricing myself out of the range of my target audience. I ordered a small selection of medieval swords for sale styled after ancient swords and made with the durability to take a beating. I knew that people sometimes bought swords as presents for their kids, so I stocked only dull swords to minimize the risk of injury. I also stocked a variety of weapons from different periods, including longswords, bastard swords, rapiers, daggers, cudgels and cutlasses. Although not all of them were truly weapons from the middle ages, all of them would appeal to fans of the weapons of antiquity.
