The falcata is the typical pre-Roman sword of the Celtiberians, a Celtic people that lived on the Iberian Peninsula, chiefly in what is now north central Spain, before and during the Roman Era. The sword is similar to the Greek kopis and the Nepalese khukri. Our falcata is a replica of a sword from the 4th - 3rd century BC.
Particularly outstanding is the richly decorated brass handle in the shape of a horse head. The handle scales are made of bone and fastened with brass rivets. The EN45 spring steel blade is also very ornate, featuring many fullers. The scope of delivery includes a small companion knife with a bone handle. Neither the sword nor the knife are sharpened.
The sword and knife are housed in a beautiful wooden scabbard bound in red leather and equipped with a throat, a chape, bands and articulated suspension rings made of brass.
This sword is designed as a collector's or decoration/display piece and, besides its quality as a collectible, is also perfectly suited as a prop, e.g. to complete your costume.

Specs may slightly vary from piece to piece.
The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain the blade on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.
Please keep in mind that bone is a natural product and variations in colour and grain are quite normal. Each sword and companion knife has thus its own very unique handle, and above pictures are for reference only.

Wundervolles Dekor-Schwert
Ein sehr schönes Dekoelement, das griechische Falcata ergänzt mein römisches Gladius wunderbar und sieht toll an der Wand aus.
Really good, but not perfect
Really good, came without damage and arrived very fast, and its just as advertised
But, it has a bit of black rust on it, which isn't really bad, but its still rust, and rust slowly ruins the sword
