Viking order Folding Scales - [13 Waage/ N1 A-6]

order Viking scales made of bronze - replica.

Here you can buy a detailed replica of an authentic Viking folding scale, which was made according to historical models from the 11th century.

The Viking scales consist of two weighing pans that are attached to a foldable arm with small chains. When folded, the arm and the chains find space in the superimposed weighing pans.

To ensure that the folding scales can be transported and stored safely, we also offer a practical leather case to complement these Viking scales.

Our replica corresponds in dimensions and design quite exactly to an original folding Viking scale and measures as follows:
Arm length 10 cm. Bowl 4.8 cm.

To weigh, the Viking folding scale is filled with coins or minced silver in one pan and balanced accordingly with counterweights on the other side until the pointer in the centre of the scale aligns vertically.

To use the Viking scales properly, you can of course buy also suitable weights of 4 grams, 6 grams and 8 grams from us.
