Long saxophone from Beagnoth with runes, silver and gold inlays, Viking saxophone

Sax by Beagnoth with Silver and Gold Inlays - Limited Luxury Edition
 
A replica of an Anglo-Saxon seax from the 9th century, limited to 250 pieces worldwide. The original was found in the Thames in London in 1857 and is now on display at the British Museum. It is therefore also called the Thames Scramasax or Thames Sword.
The blade is elaborately engraved and features a runic inscription, the first part of which depicts the Anglo-Saxon Futhark. The second part of the inscription is "Beagnoth", probably the name of the owner or the swordsmith.
Our reconstruction largely matches the early medieval original in form and dimensions. The inscription, like the original, is depicted with gold and silver inlays. The single-edged blued blade is unsharpened and, in addition to the inscription, has a narrow but quite deep, continuous fuller. The wooden handle scales are attached to the tang with brass rivets.
A robust and authentic scabbard made of cowhide is included. In contrast to the conventional version, the scabbard of the limited luxury replica has four brass applications with a knot pattern.
