Sculpted leaf patterns decorate the guard and pommel, while ornamental medallions featuring the Roman eagle and wolf enhance its historical value. This fusion of materials offers both visual appeal and durability, helping the piece feel as commanding in hand as it looks on display.
An ornate hardshell scabbard trimmed in pewter complements the sword’s detailed craftsmanship. The scabbard is accented with fine engravings and includes a functional hanging chain, allowing for various display or costume options. To complete the presentation, a wooden display stand is included, offering a refined way to showcase the sword in your home, office, or collection room.
