MEDIEVAL 'GLOBUS CRUCIGER'
TYPE XIII SINGLE HANDED COMBAT SWORD
Iron, 112 cm [44 3/4 Inches], blade 95 cm [38 inches]. Circa 14th century AD. Possibly contemporary with the Battle of Falkirk which was fought between Edward I of England and William Wallace of Scotland. A stunning sword made to be held with one hand in collaboration with a shield as opposed to two handed and hand and a half swords of this period. On either side, a thin fuller runs approximately half the length of the broad blade. One side is inlaid in latten with a Globus Cruciger. The globus cruciger (Latin) is an orb (globus) topped with a cross (cruciger), a Christian symbol of authority used throughout the Middle Ages on coins, iconography and royal regalia. It symbolises God's (the cross) dominion over the world (the orb), held under the protection and dominion of an earthly ruler, or sometimes-celestial being. On the other side of the blade is the remains of a Bishop's Crozier. Both of these marks being possible indications of loyalty to the king and the church. Below the colossal blade is the square section cross guard of 8 inches, a huge size as would be expected for such a sword. Below is the single handed tang with is a tapered/triangular shape with the point attaching the circular, beveled pommel. Inspected and certified by leading sword expert Andrew Lumley. Beautiful condition with stunning original patination.

With a copy of a world prominent collectors notes, and illustrated metology test by Dr. Alan R Williams, author of: Some Early Medieval Swords in The Wallace Collection and Elsewhere; The Hardening of Iron Swords, Journal of Archaeological Science; Slag Inclusions in Armour Plate; Bloomery Iron making During 2000 Years. Seminar in Budalen, Norway; The Technology of a 16th Century Staff Weapon; Methods of Manufacture of Swords in Medieval Europe; Seven Swords of the Renaissance from an Analytical Point of View; Ancient Steel from Egypt, Journal of Archeological Science, and others.

Further description:

 

Dr Alan R Williams writes: "A sample from the edge was embedded and polished to 1 micron in the usual way. After etching with a natal/pictral, the microstructure was examined. It consists of a very uniform tempered martensite, with no visible ferrite or pearlite, but a few inclusions. This appears to be a medium-carbon (around 0.5%C) steel which has been fully quenched to harden it and then tempered." Quote taken from the metal analysis report.
