Knight sword and shield

The knight sword and shield is a two-piece set with a 61 cm silver-coloured sword and a round shield 37 cm in diameter. With the sword in one hand and the shield in the other, you complete a knight costume with a tunic, cape and chainmail hood at carnival or a themed party. As both pieces feature the same combination of silver and gold, they look like a single set with your outfit.

What do the sword and shield look like exactly?

• The sword is 61 cm long and has a silver-coloured blade with small black crosses and a checkered coat of arms just below the crossguard.
• The curved crossguard is gold-coloured with a row of crosses, and the black, ribbed handle ends in a round pommel with a cross.
• The round shield is 37 cm in diameter, with a brushed silver-coloured surface and a gold-coloured rim with a row of studs.
• In the centre of the shield is a gold-coloured eagle with outstretched wings.
• The sword and shield come together in a single package from Widmann.

Not sure whether you want to carry one weapon or two? With this set, you have something in both hands, and the sword-and-shield silhouette is instantly recognisable as a knight from a distance.

The knight's straight sword and coat of arms

The medieval knight carried a straight sword with a crossguard, giving the weapon the shape of a cross when viewed from the front. The shield often displayed a coat of arms, so that you could tell which house someone belonged to on the battlefield. The eagle was one of the most commonly used animals in heraldry. This imagery is reflected in the eagle on the shield and the checkered coat of arms on the blade.

Face paint, gloves and a hood to complement your knight's weapons

A few lines of brown face paint on your chin and cheeks give you a stubble beard that suits a warrior on the battlefield. Silver-coloured or black gloves match the colour of the blade and make your hand around the handle part of the look. A chainmail hood or a hooded cap over your head and a chain with a cross complete the knightly look.

Choose this knight sword and shield and you will be ready to appear as a knight at carnival or a themed party.
