When you hear the term “Celtic” it could have various meanings. But when the term is used to refer to a Celtic Sword, then it refers to a kind of sword made way back during the Iron Age. These are actually swords that have evolved from the bronze forged swords, which in turn came about when iron swords have phased out.
There are actually two types of Celtic Swords, particularly long and short versions of it. The long sword was more common than the short one and usually bore an abstract hilt that would be made of some organic material such as horn, bone or wood. It also had an iron plate in front of the guard to match its scabbard. The short one, on the other hand, used copper alloy for its hilt.
This officially licensed Celtic Sword from Valiant Armoury has a high carbon steel blade and a handle made of macassar ebony. The set also comes with a leather scabbard which added to the classic look of this iron age weapon replica. If you are a serious replica swords collector, this item might interest you.
