The Toy Sword - Digging Up Memories

Rhys’s memories paint a picture of mucking about with swords in his childhood and how he relates this to Roman play.This wooden toy sword is on display at the Vindolanda Museum.
As part of the wood digitisation project, we asked members of the Vindolanda team what memories their favourite object from the wooden collection brought up for them. Find out more about the project and the exhibition at www.vindolanda.com/digging-up-memories

I've seen many references to this toy sword, but I have never seen anyone tell us its size. How long is it? I see people on social media saying it is for use by adults, and the lack of dimensions adds to that impression.

It’s the second time l’ve seen one of you calling this a toy! No think training
