This Carolingian Lobed Pommel Sword is a 24-inch Damascus steel Viking short sword based on the compact forms and distinctive hilt styling of early medieval Carolingian and Norse swords. With its straight double-edged blade, brass-accented guard, dark grip, and lobed pommel, this piece carries the recognizable profile of a Petersen Type H Viking sword in a shorter collector-ready size.
The blade is forged from Damascus steel, giving it a bold layered pattern across the full length of the blade. The flowing lines and visible steel layers create a unique surface on every sword, making each piece visually distinct. The straight blade and sharp central profile reflect the practical cutting and thrusting geometry associated with Viking Age and Carolingian swords.
The hilt is the defining feature of this piece. Its lobed pommel, compact guard, and brass-toned fittings connect it to the early medieval sword traditions of Northern and Western Europe. Petersen Type H swords were common during the Viking Age and are known for their strong, recognizable pommel forms and broad appeal among Norse and Carolingian collectors.
At 24 inches overall, this sword is shorter than a full-length Viking sword, giving it the feel of a compact belt sword or short sidearm while still retaining the shape and identity of a traditional Viking blade.
Carolingian and Viking swords shared a connected early medieval design tradition. As trade, warfare, and cultural contact spread across Northern and Western Europe, sword forms moved between Frankish, Norse, Anglo-Saxon, and other regional traditions.
The Petersen Type H classification refers to one of the most recognizable Viking Age hilt forms, often marked by a lobed pommel and compact guard. These swords were used across Scandinavia and surrounding regions during the Viking Age, and many were influenced by the high-quality swordmaking traditions of the Carolingian world.
This sword reflects that shared tradition through its lobed pommel, straight double-edged Damascus blade, and brass-accented hilt. It is a strong choice for collectors who want a more specific Viking sword than a generic Norse blade.
