Seax Of Beagnoth from The Knight Shop International Ltd
Merchant: English Heritage
Brand: The Knight Shop International Ltd
Product code: AH4171
Merchant's Category:
It is a prestige weapon, decorated with elaborate patterns of inlaid copper, bronze and silver wire. On one side of the blade is the only known complete inscription of the twenty-eight letter Anglo-Saxon runic alphabet, as well as the name "Beagnoth" in runic letters. It is thought that the runic alphabet had a magical function, and that the name Beagnoth is that of either the owner of the weapon or the smith who forged it. Although many Anglo-Saxon and Viking swords and knives have inscriptions in the Latin alphabet on their blades, or have runic inscriptions on the hilt or scabbard, the Seax of Beagnoth is one of only a handful of finds with a runic inscription on its blade. Our faithful replica is based on the dimensions of the original and has a hand forged steel blade with wood grip and hand-crafted leather scabbard. Key Features: High carbon steel blade Leather scabbard Made for display only Only available for UK shipping
