One of the most recognized in a long line of 300 movie replicas and collectibles, this perfectly crafted Spartan warrior sword replica lets movie buffs and comic geeks everywhere recreate the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.

 

The Battle of Thermopylae is one of the fiercest battles in history as it is widely known for when a mere handful of Greek soldiers – the Spartan warrior class – effectively stood their ground against the droves of Persian soldiers in time for Greece to send their soldiers to battlefront and drive the invading Persian army away. The box office hit 300 directed by Zack Snyder was based on the 300 graphic novels by writer/artist extraordinaire Frank Miller of Sin City and The Dark Knight Returns fame. He is known for singlehandedly ushering in the Dark Age of comic books, no longer restricting it to the funny, campy, and sci-fi stories of the Golden Age and Silver Age of comics.

 

Known for his solid inks and emotive artwork, Frank Miller’s art perfectly made the transition to the big screen with the use of computer enhanced graphics. The costumes and weapons are accurate down to the Persian arrowheads. Leonidas was shown wielding this Spartan Warrior Sword as he and his men hacked their way through wave after way of Persian attack. Measuring in at 34 and a half inches, the 26 inch blade from Dungeonknight.com is forged from tough carbon steel, making sure you can use it as not just a display sword. The leather wrapped handle makes sure your grip doesn’t slip as you show off the latest addition to your collection.
