Hey I've been watching this show after reading the books, and Sandor, aka The Hound, has always been my favourite character. I've been killing myself with internet searches and on this forum itself trying to find information or a good picture of the two handed sword he always wears over his back.

From the small pictures, I'd say it looks like a complete fantasy style sword; the guard looks based on a Style 4 and the pommel a Type T5. I can't see the tip of the blade and I don't feel like pulling up the scenes, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's an XIIa or XIIIa with a fantasy fuller configuration. It does not have a wheel pommel and is not a ring-hilt:

Yeah that is pretty close the pommel is different but the guard is pretty much spot on.Neither the Kriegschwert or that Irish ring hilt look much like The Hound's sword. Here is a slightly better version of the first pic PXM posted

Did someone say Clegane?!? I'm a bit partial to The Hound myself (although Tyrion Lannister has to be my favorite character from the series), but I haven't seen any better pictures of his sword than the ones you have. All I know is that it's got a pretty long handle on it, maybe 12+" from guard to pommel. If you're looking for an actual sword to buy like his, I'd have to agree that the Hanwei Bastard is probably the best option out there. You could shorten the blade, add some length to the handle, and make a new pommel for it if you wanted to make your own Hound sword. Fellow forumite ShooterMike has a thread on how he took his down and did most of these mods, minus the new pommel: sbgswordforum.proboards.com/inde ... hread=1813

Thanks for the input guys!
Edit: Had a better look at the Hanwei bastard sword. That looks about as close as I'm like to find, thanks for the info. Though it would need an extended handle for sure.
