Description
In the darkest days of France’s struggle during the Hundred Years War, the Maid of Orleans,Joan of Arc,rose as a beacon of hope and fierce resolve. This longsword replica pays homage to her enduring legacy, featuring the fleur-de-lis, a symbol deeply entwined with French royalty and heritage. The guard, scabbard chafe, and locket each bear three fleur-de-lis motifs, echoing the Christian Trinity,faith, wisdom, and chivalry,values Joan herself embodied as she led her countrymen into battle.
The blade is forged from 440 stainless steel, known for its balance of strength and corrosion resistance, and finished to a mirror polish that catches the light much like the blades wielded by knights of old. At 23 inches, the blade is well-proportioned for both display and study, with a thickness of 3 millimeters that offers a sturdy yet elegant profile. The handle is cast metal, designed to withstand the rigors of handling while evoking the style of period weaponry, and the included leather-wrapped wooden scabbard provides a fitting sheath, combining practicality with historical appearance.
