Description
A knights sword is probably THE most iconic item that comes to ones mind when the talk comes to the middle-ages.
This is an authentic and museum quality recreation (certified from the blacksmith) of a genuine historic 13th century sword, it is consecrated by a priest of my hometown, goes by the Name "Barmunge" and ,best of all, - it belongs to me.
"Barmunge" is an old medieval german dialect word for "compassion". It could be interpreted as mercyful if left in the sheath or showing mery when striking the final blow, ending the pain of the woundet opponent.
