Back in the early 90's noticed the sword below at a quality knife shop.
It was expensive....but damn...i had to have it!
A company from Spain named Marto produced it.
Charlemagne's Sword.
The Hilt is a wax casting from Charlemagnes sword in the Louvre.
At the time...it was unique..and rare.
Lots of copies out now.
The difference is in the detail of the hilt.
My hilt is bronze/copper ..with dark mat below raised surfaces.
Its a heavy peice.....a real eye catcher when company comes over.
