The 300 Spartan Weapons

The movie 300 was released in 2007 and was about the Battle of Thermopylae that is famous from legends told about it. The line of 300 Spartan weapons and other items from the movie are great for all collectors and fans of the movie or even just for those that love ancient history and the story of King Leonidas I who led his army of Sparta against the Persians and lasted a week before finally losing the battle.

The Spartans were great warriors and that is why only 300 soldiers managed to last a week against the Persian army that consisted of around 120,000 soldiers. Of course, good soldiers will need good weapons and that is what the Spartans had. Along with weapons, they also had good armoring which protected them from the attacks of the Persians. In order to have a complete look, along with the 300 Spartan weapons you will need the accessories too.

The main weapon is the 300 spartan sword. This sword has an overall length of 30 inches and is made using good materials. The blade is made with high carbon steel, the grip is wrapped with leather and all other parts are solid steel and that is why this sword has a weight of around three pounds. To complete the offer, there is also a leather scabbard and baldric that has a worn look to it so that it looks as if a soldier really has used it. This sword is fully functional, which is rare for a replica. You can actually use it for practicing or fighting, but since it is officially licensed and has a certificate of authenticity it is also a collector’s item.

For fans of the movie or those that like complete movie collections, it is a good idea to purchase the Spartan armor along with the 300 Spartan weapons. This makes the collection all the more valuable and when put together also makes a great display. These accessories include a Spartan cape, the Spartan soldier helmet, the Spartan shield and leg and arm protection. Since all of these are also functional, it is also possible to use them as props or for dressing up as a Spartan soldier for reenactments or fan gatherings.
