WILLIAM WALLACE MINI SWORD (MG14) by Art Gladius They Will Never Take Our Freedom! Immortalized by Mel Gibson’s portrayal of William Wallace, the Claymore sword has become one of the distinct, martial symbols of Scotland and its conflicts with England. As a tribute to William Wallace and his weapon of movie legend, the fine makers at Art Gladius offer this 11 3/8 inch minature, looking very much like the sword wielded in the popular movie. This replica is based on the full-sized swords, with a fully tempered blade and correctly detailed hilt. The steel blade is mirror polished and of the same tempered steel as the full size versions. It features Rat Tail Tang construction and is equipped with a threaded Pommel. The Wallace Mini Sword comes complete with an attractive cardboard presentation box. A pleasing gift for any movie entusiast, collector, or Scottish sword fan.
The Scottish Claymore was usually identified with the Scots as a symbol of pride and strength. The Claymore, or "Claidheamh-mor" (Great Sword) in Gaelic is a two handed broad sword utilized by the Scottish Highlander throughout several centuries. Used in the constant clan warfare and border fights with the English from 1500 t0 1650 and still in use as late as the Rebellion of 1745, the two-handed Claymore seems to be an offshoot of earlier broadswords as they were developed into great-swords. It was said that the bearer of a Claymore needed no shield (how could he carry one, anyway?) because the reach of the sword provided its own protection.
