Iberia Swords are crafted in much the same way as swords were made centuries ago, except that the blades are now forged from high-carbon spring steel, a resource unavailable off-the-shelf to the smiths of old. The blade finish is far from being polished, again more closely replicating what the medieval swordsmith was able to achieve. The grips are carved in wood, often with a leather or cord wrap to better replicate the originals on which the designs are based. Fittings are either steel or solid brass. Leather or leather-wrapped scabbards are included. These swords will appeal to the re-enactor who wants a sword with the same appearance as the originals.

SR092 River Witham Sword
The River Witham Sword (SR092) was dredged from the River Witham near the town of Lincoln during work carried out in 1788. The sword may be a remnant of the Battle of Lincoln in 1141; however, it was most likely constructed between 1250-1300 CE.
