Richard Harris as King Arthur carrying Excalibur.

I like it when King Arthur sang MacArthur Park and used Excalibur to cut a slice of cake before it melted in the dark.

Actually, Richard Harris played a lot of great roles from King Arthur to Cromwell to Marcus Aurelius.

I have an *exact* copy of William Wallace’s sword from the movie ‘Braveheart’. Made of halfway decent steel, I think.

Exhibiting cracking to shoulders, arms, and body, tears at under-arm vents, holes to fabric sleeves, and staining to exterior chest and interior. Cape in production used fine condition.

Just thought I’d weigh in here to announce I finally changed my tagline yesterday. Coincidence?

Neat sword, but there can be only one King in one "Excalibur".

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of representative government.

Superman's cape and belt buckle from the original George Reeves 1950s TV show

Wow, the "S" logo looks like it was made from ordinary craft felt a housewife could buy in a fabric store.

You can see a seam across the lower part of the cape, because most yard goods did not come in wide sizes then except for bedsheet fabric. Strange that they did not construct the seams lengthwise.

Then again, the show was in B&W, wasn't it? And on the tiny screens of the times. So who could even see those details, or even the color.
