Competition Stage Combat Line SM
German Two Handed Practice Sword
Date circa 1450-1550 AD, German
orgin, as illustrated by several artists and a few examples that survive
today such as in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
This is a replica of the practice
swords used by schools of combat in the medieval period, such as the German
Marxbrüder. The design was used very widely and is often seen in the
illustrations depicting fighting techniques in the fechtbuchs (fight manuals)
of the period. This sword is based on these illustrations and some of the
few surviving examples of this type of sword. The hilt furniture is steel,
the grip being hardwood covered in leather. A smooth polished steel finish
is used on the blade and handle parts. The blade is made of 5160 steel
and has a steady taper from hilt to tip.

These instruments are NOT toys, their use requires
the training and supervision of a qualified Teacher or Trainer in
sword use or fencing. Their use in ANY
other form (i.e. chopping trees down in the backyard, etc. ;-) can result
in severe injury to the user and to the
instrument, and is not warranted by Imperial Weapons. If you are not
qualified, DO NOT attempt to use these instruments
before securing qualified instruction. Owning an instrument
such as this carries with it a responsibility
to gain the instruction needed to become proficient and qualified in its
use. Users should contact a qualified Trainer
or Teacher or join a fencing club to receive proper training. The
necessary training is NOT available via
books or videos; and no, it is definitely not as easy as it looks. Imperial
Weapons, its employees, nor associated
companies, assume no responsibility for injury, damage, or loss incurred
by use of these instruments. All edged
instruments can be dangerous when handled by ill-trained or
non-trained personnel. We cannot stress
too strongly that, without exception, the user of these instruments must
get the proper training to insure their
own safety and the safety of others.
