Medieval Gifts Online: Reproductions

Updated: 11/30/2002

An authentic antique sword from the middle ages can cost thousands of dollars. But for a history buff, a reproduction can be delightful in its own way. A brand-new sword that looks exactly like such a sword would have looked five hundred years ago has a certain luster; one can imagine just how a medieval knight may have felt when he received his first weapon.

A veritable flood of websites exist on the net that sell reenactment and sport armor, weapons, accessories and other items for use in recreating the past. The sites listed on this page either deal primarily in reproductions of actual medieval and Renaissance-era items or include such replicas among their inventory. Items are not limited to weapons! Take a good look at sites that sell reproduction clothing, jewelry, artwork and more!
