Description

A Simon Atherton-made William Wallace (Mel Gibson) claymore from the promotion of Gibson's Academy Award-winning medieval biopic Braveheart. Scotsman Wallace wielded his claymore during numerous battles with the English while leading a rebellion against them. Braveheart was a roaring success at the 1996 Academy Awards, winning five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. On release, the film's credited armourer Simon Atherton created this accurate replica of the original hero sword for promotional and marketing purposes. The blade and pommel are aluminium, while the blade's shoulder and grip are leather. A strip of woollen tartan is tied around the guard. A letter of authenticity from Atherton accompanies the lot. Dimensions: 152 cm x 32 cm x 5 cm (59.75" x 12.5" x 2") Edged, bladed or blunt object; see notice on blades in the Buyer's Guide.
