BLACK PRINCE DAGGER SG550 ART GLADIUS
The Black Prince, son of Edward III of England, is remembered in history for his great victory over the French at the Battle of Agincourt during the Hundred Years' War. Undoubtedly one of England's finest royal warriors, he earned his name from his blackened armor and accouterments. Art Gladius historical swords and daggers are detailed representations of the weapons of famous historical figures or legendary heroes.
This Black Prince Dagger (SG550) is an excellent smaller companion to the Art Gladius Black Prince Sword (SG250). Like the Sword, this dagger prominently displays the Black Prince coat of arms emblazoned on its hilt in full color. His motto encircles both sides of the Dagger's round wheel type pommel. The guard and pommel are metal cast and are then given a Gold Plated finish. The quillion ends, pommel details and grip spacers of the hilt are given a dark patina applique for an authentic time-worn look. The grip is a black and red leather wrap bound with antiqued gold plated spacers.
The 10 inch blade is constructed in 440C stainless steel that is tempered to 45-50 HRC, and given a lustrous mirror polish. The blade is decorated with a deep etch depicting the St. George on Horseback "Slaying the Dragon" positioned above his coat of arms. The Black Prince dual-edge blade is un-edged for safety and well suited for costume and beautiful display. This Black Prince Dagger edition comes with a highly decorated matching scabbard with gold metal throat and chape with hand painted detailing
Note: These Fine Quality Decorative Daggers are designed for costume and display and not intended for cutting or striking against other objects.
