TEMPLAR SWORD DECORATED w/Damascened 24K Gold 597 Marto
The Marto 597 Damascene Templar Sword of the Order of the Knights Templar is inspired by the Spanish swords from the time of Philip II. The double edge blade is constructed of 440 Toledo Steel and is fully tempered for strength and flexibility. The low maintenance stainless steel has been brought to a lustrous mirror polish, and features dramatic cut outs within its fuller that run the entire length of the blade.

The duo-tone Pommel carries the seal of the Templar Order in Silver and is surrounded by three Ruby-like Crystals mounted in gold fixtures upon the Zamak Silver pommel foundation. The grip is of Maroon Velvet wrap secured in Silver & Gold detailing.

The intricately detailed silver & gold Zamak plated hilt features a Cathedral design that takes the form of a Templar cross Pattée. The Damascened Artwork centered within both sides of the sword hilt is meticulously handmade and created by Marto's damascene artisans, therefore making the design of each piece is unique. The artistic patterns are obtained by engraving deep, patterned cuts into steel and then placing a gold foil into the lines of the design. This foil is hammered until the gold (18/greenish and 24/yellow carat) penetrates into the cuts, forming the design. Each piece is treated with a bluing solution to obtain oxidation and a dramatic black background is created. Surrounding the Templar Cross Pattée is inscribed the Vichiers Seal: SIGILLUM MILITUM XPISTI roughly translated "Seal of the Soldiers of Christ".

Each Templar sword is blade stamped with Marto Toledo Seals of authenticity and comes boxed with Marto certificates of Origin and Quality. Exemplary of Marto’s world-renown quality, this Templar Sword is an exquisite addition to any sword enthusiast’s collection.
