MEDIEVAL BROADSWORDS for rent Once a society can manufacture steel, then strong, lightweight swords over three feet are possible. However, longer swords require more and constant training for the warrior, are best utilized when on horseback and were expensive to purchase, so the sword slowly became the weapon of only the nobility.
Most hilts can be fitted with almost any blade. - prices are for the first 30 days rental per sword when outfitted with the corresponding blade. The sword you receive may have a different grip or pommel than that shown in the photo.
("what kind of blade do I need?") blade choices
Do you need only the sword, or some way to attach it to the actor as well? Once you're done selecting the hilt and blade, take a look at our leather goods rental section which has sashes, belts, frogs and scabbards

405 - CALEDONIA - inspired by the Scottish Claymore, this is an open-work design with four drooping arms meeting gracefully at each end. A fight-friendly choice for the Scottish play when massive swords are desired. [The guard is not very wide - 9 inches across - but is visually deep, so a single-hand blade, although possible, looks ungainly.] costume – [$25.04] hand-and-a-half – [$39.48] zweihander – [$52.00]
401 - GALLOWGLASS - the shape is again distinctively Scottish. This claymore (claidhaem-mor = "great sword") is the weapon of choice for a traditional production of Macbeth. costume – [$30.53] leaf – [$44.63] shortsword – [$46.53] vorpal – [$55.16] one hand – [$46.95] hand-and-a-half – [$48.00]
403 - HIBERNIA - a very rustic variation of the classic Gaelic broadsword. Lighter than the Gallowglass, but just as strong. costume – [$14.43] one hand – [$28.00] hand-and-a-half – [$28.87]
costume – [$21.74] leaf – [$33.39] shortsword – [$34.96] vorpal – [$42.09] one hand – [$35.30] hand-and-a-half – [$36.17]
costume – [$26.53] leaf – [$40.63] shortsword – [$42.53] vorpal – [$51.16] one hand – [$42.95]
400-0 - VALENCIA - an elaborate brass guard, so also only a dress piece. costume (short 22 " blade only) – [$20.84] 400-S - VALENCIA (steel) - and very sturdy, so fully fight worthy blades may be used. costume – [$20.84] shortsword – [$36.84] schlaeger – [$38.95] vorpal – [$45.47] one hand – [$37.26]
The following sword guards are all of the cruciform (cross-shaped) style popular among the Christian warriors for its obvious religious symbolism but they photograph rather plainly from the side. We give you a profile view, but then some bird’s eye views of just the guards, not necessarily to scale with the other photos).

costume – [$23.48] one hand – [$37.04] hand-and-a-half – [$37.91]
