A heraldic lion in relief adorns the pommel of this piece of legendary art and joins to a golden wire wrapped rich brown leather grip. The fully tempered low maintenance AISI 440 stainless steel blade is mirror polished, with a fuller (groove) on each side and bears the Marto stamp of authenticity. Each sword comes with certificate of Origin and Quality.
Trivia: A slightly modified Marto 538 Lancelot sword (silver with added Blue Sapphires in hilt) was used in the acclaimed TV Comedy Series Galavant, as the sword of the main character Galavant.

Knighted by king Arthur, Sir Lancelot is well-regarded as the best knight in King Arthur's court and the paragon of chivalry. Next to Arthur himself, no one in all the lands more greatly inspires the loyalty and service of knights. Every good knight who meets him loves him like a brother; all knights of treachery fear him instinctively.
For his deeds, his prowess, appearance and chivalry, he is loved and sought after by many women. Except for Galahad during the Grail Quest, or perhaps (on a good day) Sir Tristram or Lamorak, there is no knight in the world that can equal his abilities.
There are a couple of known behaviors of Lancelot. Firstly, he never kills defeated knights who ask him for mercy, no matter how vile their crimes or offenses. Secondly, he never wears any ladies' favors during tournaments – not even Guinevere. Along with Sir Gawaine, he is the closest friend to the High King. Although often less-reliable (being away from court frequently), he is always known for offering the most honorable advise. He is the secret lover of Guinevere, and the openly self-declared Queen's Champion.
