The cinquedea was a characteristic type of Italian broad-bladed short sword or large dagger, with this example in the Royal Armouries having a longer blade, dating to around 1500-1530.

While cinquedeas were often carried as civilian sidearms, and some examples were highly decorated, this example could equally have been carried by a member of the gentry or as a military sidearm - more commonly by an infantryman or gunner.

The impressively broad blade of 26 inches has a complex transition from three down to two fullers, with a thin and distally tapered cross-section which make this a very light and fast weapon for its size.

Our replica has faithfully copied all aspects of the form and measurements, including a hilt consisting of a hidden tang, with hardwood grip scales and decorative brass filigree inlaid rivets. The ingenious and iconic guard design is fabricated of various components welded together, as in the original.
