Yanling Broadsword
Deriving its name from the "goose feather" shaped blade, the Yanling Broadsword was originally developed in the Song Dynasty. This exquisite version by the craftsmen of Hanwei featured a beautifully patterned folded Swedish powder steel fullered blade and top quality fittings. The solid bronze "full moon" guard has a flying goose motif in relief on the grip side and traditional "good fortune" patterning on the blade side, repeated on the pommel and scabbard fittings. The grip is leather wrapped over sharkskin, which also covers sword belies the fact that it is fully functional, with great inherent strength, balance and cutting ability. Specifications: Blade: 25 3/4"; Overall: 32 1/4"; Weight: 2.06 lbs.
