Medieval Weapons for Sale

If you are looking for real medieval weapons for sale then you have come to the right place. Not only have I found a variety of weapons for sale on amazon and listed them with pictures but I’m also going to explain some of the history of the weapons to go with it! Although this is by no means a complete list of all medieval weapons it is a list of the most popular.

Medieval Weapons for Sale- Swords

1) Medieval Arming Sword

An Arming Sword is a traditional sword used by knights during the 11th-16th centuries. Since it had a lightweight blade that was only around two and a half feet long, it would often be complimented by a shield. The Arming Sword got demoted to a back up weapon when the Long Sword became popular in the 13th century. Around the same time it stopped being called an Arming sword and started going by the name we know if as today, the Short Sword

2) Medieval Long Sword

The Long sword, which became popular in the 13th century, is a long double bladed sword that required two hands to swing. There are several different styles that vary from county to country such as the Zweihänder from Germany or the Claymore from Scotland( for best example see Braveheart!)

Medieval Weapons for Sale-   Ranged Weapons

1) English Style Longbow

Obviously th long bow was a very useful weapon during medieval times.  Whether attacking or defending, having the advantage of a weapon that can be used from a great distance can obviously turn the tide of a battle when used properly. Even though the long bow had a range of 180-250 yards it was highly inaccurate from so far away. And letting your archers get to close put them in danger of being overrun by the enemy. Instead the archers would just bombard the enemy with as many arrows as possible to make up the lack of accuracy



2)Cross Bow

Even though the Long bow had superior range and rate of fire cross bows still became a popular ranged weapon for one simple reason, they were easy to use. A full army could be taught how to use a crossbow in a week, but a single archer would need years of strength and accuracy training to be useful in battle.

Medieval Weapons for Sale- War Hammers

Medieval War Hammer

Although there are a variety of types of war hammers I don’t feel the need to list each one separately because the main difference is the size. A war hammer looks very similar to a modern day hammer only the head has a blunt site and a spike instead of the clawed version we see today. The size could vary from that of a sledge hammer to the small tool you use to drive in nails.


That’s my list for now. Hopefully it has helped you on your quest to find your medieval weapons for sale.
