LARP Sword Eadric – Royal Blade with Lion Crest 105 cm
Detailed Description and Usage
This sword is designed specifically as a prop for LARP (Live Action Role Play), battle games, and cosplay. It is a safe replica that faithfully mimics the appearance of a historical steel weapon but is made from modern materials to ensure safety. The core of the weapon consists of a durable fibreglass rod, providing rigidity and stability during fencing. This core is encased in a layer of soft polyurethane foam to cushion impacts.
The design of the Eadric sword is inspired by the High Middle Ages and royal heraldry. The blade is painted silver with realistic shading and features a central fuller. However, the most striking feature is the magnificent hilt in an antique gold finish. The crossguard is decorated with reliefs of winged griffins and a central crest featuring four lions on green and red fields. The grip mimics a wire wrap for a secure hold and is topped with a "tea cosy" style pommel featuring a detailed lion's face with glowing red eyes.
Historical Context and Inspiration
Although the name "Eadric" refers to Anglo-Saxon tradition (meaning "wealthy ruler"), the shape of the sword corresponds more to weapons from the 12th to 14th centuries. Typologically, it resembles an Oakeshott Type XII sword, which was the universal weapon of knights during the Crusades. The lion is one of the most common symbols in heraldry, representing courage, strength, and royal power—reminiscent of the coat of arms of Richard the Lionheart. The griffins on the guard symbolize vigilance and the union of earthly (lion) and heavenly (eagle) power.

Care Instructions and Safety
To ensure your Eadric sword serves you well and looks like new for a long time, please follow these guidelines:
- Maintenance: Clean the weapon with a damp cloth after every battle. Regularly apply silicone spray to keep the surface flexible and protect the foam from drying out and cracking.
- Storage: Store the sword in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Long-term exposure to UV radiation can degrade the material.
- Safety: Although this is a foam weapon, exercise caution during combat. Do not thrust (unless the event rules explicitly allow it), and avoid striking the head and neck. If the fibreglass core becomes exposed (e.g., at the tip), retire the weapon immediately to prevent injury.
This sword is a perfect match for a knightly belt and frog, completing your noble appearance.
