Swords of this form were common in Europe throughout the 13th and 14th Centuries. Similar swords are depicted in I.33, the earliest European personal combat instruction that we know of today. It dates from the early 14th century, as does this piece. This was a dynamic time in the use of the sword as combatants transitioned from mail to plate armor and the use of the buckler was common.
