Oliver Cromwell (1599 – 1658) was a powerful figure in English history
during and after the English Civil War, when he rose from the rank of Captain
of Horse to Lord Protector of England. His sword, said to have been carried
at the battle of Drogheda in 1649, has been remarkably well preserved and
features in the collection of the Royal Armouries in Leeds, England, where
it is displayed in the permanent collection. Our Cromwell Sword is an accurate
replica of the original “mortuary” hilt style and features a blackened
guard decorated in a gold foliage pattern with a wire-wound sharkskin grip.
As the original sword now lacks a scabbard , we have provided a design
typical of the period. This piece of English history is a must for the
ECW collector and re-enactor.
