One of Finland’s most famous Iron Age swords is the ring-sword found in Pappilanmäki, Eura in 1939, dating back to the 7th century. The sword was found in the early spring of 1939, when a place for the boiler room was being excavated for the main building of the farm. The builders reported the discovery, and the sword was deposited in the National Museum’s collection on 29 March 1939 under the number KM11002:5. The large notch that appears in the middle of the scabbard is from a workman’s shovel.

The Eura sword is from a grave that was destroyed during construction work before archaeologists were able to examine it. Most of the items of the grave were probably recovered, but the placement of items in the grave, for example, could not be investigated in more detail. In addition to the sword, the items in the grave included a seax and the bronze rails of its sheath, a fragment of the tip of a spear, a fragment of the blade of a knife, a Permian belt with bronze ornaments, 30 pieces of leather and 13 pieces of birch bark from the belt and its charms, a belt buckle, a horse bit and its mounts, tweezers and an ornamental ring pin.

You will appreciate the precision work of our blacksmith. The entire sword is forged in accordance with the proportions of the original artifact. Our swords are museum level replicas! Enjoy!
