Art Gladius Black Prince Sword - Stainless Steel Blade, Cast Metal Handle, Black Leather Inserts - Length 44 3/8”

Product Description

Made in Toledo, Spain, a city with a centuries-long tradition of blacksmithing, sword-making and other ancient crafts, the Black Prince Sword is a magnificent piece produced by the world-famous Art Gladius workshop. The 34”, polished stainless-steel blade is masterfully etched with Medieval symbols, which feature black scroll etching and a Black Prince scene. The unsharpened blade also has a fuller to decrease the weight without sacrificing strength. The reproduction sword has a black stainless steel hilt with the Edward III of England coat of arms and dragon emblems on the handguard. The handle is wrapped in bands of gold-toned metal and it has a wheel pommel with gold-toned accents. The pommel features Edward’s motto on one side, “Honni soit qui mal y pense,” which translates to “Shame on him who thinks evil of it.” The Black Prince Sword, reproduced from the milled effigy on his tomb in Canterbury Cathedral, is a wonderful reminder of this Medieval hero.
