5th Century Migration Period Sword by Kingdom of Arms - Man-At-Arms by Bruce Brookhart
Embrace the power and history of the Migration Period with this meticulously crafted sword designed by Bruce Brookhart for Kingdom of Arms.
The Migration Period, lasting from 300 to 700 A.D., was a time of massive movement of tribes across Europe. Driven by the Huns' invasions and the allure of Rome's wealth, tribes like the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Vandals became infamous for their role in history—most notably with the sack of Rome. This period also saw the rise of the Saxons, Angles, and Jutes who left their homes in northern Germany and Denmark to settle in Britain, shaping the future of English history.
Inspired by the Germanic tribes of the Migration Period, this sword is a tribute to the craftsmanship of the era, reflecting both the practicality and artistry of weapons carried by the wealthiest or most skilled warriors. During this time, swords were rare and valuable—only the elite could afford such a weapon. Now, you can own a piece of history with this beautifully designed sword.

Simplicity at its best!
I love this sword. The Quality/Control is better than I would have imagined for a 300$ sword from a economy line and Kingdom of Arms have a great Customer Service. Very comfortable to handle and very very light too. A little whippy but very solid. Quite normal for a blade of this dimention. The scabbard is simple but quite unique and well made. Beautiful small Migration Era sword. Replica swords from this period are still quite rare, especially around $300. Its close to a perfect sword, very nice and interesting. It's not a ceremonial sword, it's the sword of a warrior ! Simplicity at its best! Those who know me know that I prefer big Viking swords but Im happy to own this piece in my collection. It’s a rare unique design sword very fun to play with. A very good fit in your collection if you also like to collect different types of weapons from different periods of history (this is why my own collection is so large). Im giving 5 stars out of five for this sword.
Thank you.
We appreciate your business and will continue to expand this line.
