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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"876\" data-start=\"493\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1237\" data-start=\"878\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1455\" data-start=\"1239\"\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1469\" data-start=\"1457\" data-section-id=\"19zqy0x\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1935\" data-start=\"1471\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1492\" data-start=\"1471\" data-section-id=\"1us1pfp\"\u003eOverall Length: 24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1537\" data-start=\"1493\" data-section-id=\"1xzt45l\"\u003eSword Type: Carolingian Lobed Pommel Sword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1584\" data-start=\"1538\" data-section-id=\"ptfdsg\"\u003ePetersen Typology: Type H Viking-style sword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1617\" data-start=\"1585\" data-section-id=\"1de3ucj\"\u003eBlade Material: Damascus Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1660\" data-start=\"1618\" data-section-id=\"svd8kc\"\u003eBlade Style: Straight double-edged blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1702\" data-start=\"1661\" data-section-id=\"3t7zoa\"\u003eHilt: Brass-accented guard and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1752\" data-start=\"1703\" data-section-id=\"1dihsx2\"\u003ePommel: Lobed Viking \/ Carolingian-style pommel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1783\" data-start=\"1753\" data-section-id=\"11iuvz5\"\u003eGrip: Dark wood-style handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1849\" data-start=\"1784\" data-section-id=\"r7bvf5\"\u003eHistorical Style: Viking Age \/ Carolingian early medieval sword\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1962\" data-start=\"1937\" data-section-id=\"1bntavo\"\u003eHistorical Background\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2215\" data-start=\"1964\"\u003eCarolingian 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2550\" data-start=\"2217\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2785\" data-start=\"2552\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46211172860076,"sku":"1000000360","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/files\/63833-Done.jpg?v=1777661374","url":"https:\/\/battlingblades.com\/products\/carolingian-lobed-pommel-viking-sword-damascus-steel-24","provider":"Battling Blades","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
