The flamboyantly formed hilt is both beautiful and functional. It’s forward plates are pierced and show lavish birds among foliage, while the bars of the guard are slender both defending the hand and having an upward loop to catch an opponent’s blade. The heavy pommel allows for a more balanced feel for fighting. The blade is etched on both sides of the ricasso with the Latin phrase CHRISTUS IMPERAT which means “Christ Commands.”

Frank Miller's epic film "300" used superimposition to replicate the visuals of the original comic book to tell the story of the battle between the Persians and the Spartans at Thermopylae. One thing everyone can agree on: the film is cult.

Our 300 Spartan helmet is based on the ones the Spartans wore in Frank Miller's comic book, and Miller consulted during their production. The helmet is made of steel with a brass coating. It has an adjustable leather liner so it can be adjusted to fit perfectly, and fastens with a chin strap. This Frank Miller's 300 Spartan helmet comes with a decorative helmet stand.

Since 1860, the US Navy Cutlass M1860 Gold has been produced for the American armed forces at sea – just in time for the American Civil War! It replaces model M1841, and was inspired by the French Navy saber. The curved blade typical of sabers has a wide fuller that ends at the same place the broad back does – the spot where the false edge starts.

Its blade geometry gives the US Navy Cutlass M1860 Gold a relatively light weight, but it was also made to be slightly top-heavy to give cuts more power. Held in place by a riveted pommel and the 24 K gold-plated full knuckle bow at the hand guard, the wooden grip of this naval cutlass is covered in leather and wrapped with twisted, golden wire. The US Navy Cutlass M1860 Gold comes with a matching leather scabbard with belt loop and a cloth bag for transport and storage.
