Product description
This sword is based on historical Templar swords as seen in various European museums. Two Templar crosses have been etched in the blade, the pommel also shows a Templar cross. The cross-guard has the inscription IN HOC SIGNO VINCES (in this sign you will conquer). This sentence is said to have appeared to the first Christian Roman emperor Constantine the Great. He saw this sentence in the shape of a cross hanging in the air during the battle against Maxentius in AD 312. This was an important sentence for medieval Christianity. This sword is perfect for collectors of medieval swords, reenactors of Knight Templars and Cosplayers of films such as Arn the Knight Templar.
The sword has a wooden grip wrapped in brown leather and is delivered including a beautiful brown leather scabbard. It has a full tang with a riveted pommel. The scabbard has a belt, so you can hang it directly around your waist.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
Warranty
This item is perfect for beginning sword fighters and light battles but this sword is not covered by a warranty.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result."
