A type XI blade, the Norman is the kind of sword that would have been used by the early descendents of the Scandinavian Vikings and is based on an 11th century original currently in the Tower of London (Her Majesties Royal Armoury Collection).
Frequently appearing in the hands of the Norman Conquerors as pictured in the Bayeux Tapestry – this diamond shaped blade is extremely well balanced, making this one of the lightest and most manoeuvrable Medieval swords for cut and thrust swordplay.
An earlier (before they were peened) version of the Norman sword was reviwed on SBG
here by Dan D, where it scored 5 out 5 stars. It is essentially the same blade as the
Medieval Knight sword tested to attempted destruction here with the only real difference being the appearance of the hilt fittings...
As such, this is definitely a well balanced, stout and highly recommended piece.
Below is a side by side comparison of what the black and brown leather option hilts look like.
