Wilburton Bronze Age Sword

The Blade was cast by Neil Burridge, it was then finished by Anton my 78 year old mate. He also put the handle on it, carved out of white oak. It's a direct copy of a 3000 year old find. Cast & forged in the original methods out of 90% Copper and 10% Tin and then plunged into cold water. It's very hard. Quite amazing for primitive technology.

The Sword Cast by Neil Burridge. This is how it looked straight from the cast and before it was polished.
