Colonial Age - Swords
Weapons made not only to be versatile and effective, but also to be beautiful works of art and status symbols.
Swords are a type of weapon defined by their single or two handed grips and long deadly blades. Swords come in all shapes and sizes but they are always larger than knives and blades. Most swords have unique designs and features that make them better suited for certain types of combat and battlefields.
