Robin Hood Sword "Earl of Huntington" – Gold Plated with Deep Etching
Details That Tell a Story
The sword is designed with a focus on symbolism. The massive pommel bears the inscription "Earl of Huntington", referring to the noble title attributed to Robin in some versions of the legend. The centre of the pommel is adorned with a green stone (faux emerald) set within a cross. The crossguard is richly decorated with reliefs of hunting scenes – deer and forest animals – set against a background of red enamel, which contrasts with the 24K gold plating. The grip itself is covered in a green material (faux leather/velvet) and reinforced with decorative rings. The stainless steel blade boasts detailed deep etching featuring floral motifs, bows, and arrows.
Usage and Display
With a total length of 122 cm (48 inches) and a weight of nearly 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs), this is an impressive piece intended exclusively for wall decoration. The sword is not balanced for fencing, and its construction is adapted for visual effect. We recommend hanging it on a sturdy wooden plaque or using decorative wall mounts, ideally in a study, living room, or hallway, where its craftsmanship can stand out.

Historical Context: Robin of Locksley
Although historians still debate the real-life inspiration for Robin Hood, the legend most often places him in the turbulent times of the reign of Richard I the Lionheart (late 12th century). Robin, often identified with the nobleman Robert of Locksley or the Earl of Huntington, became a symbol of resistance against the tyranny of Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. This sword does not reflect a historical weapon of the 12th century, but rather the romanticised image of the hero from Victorian novels and classic Hollywood films.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain its perfect appearance, we recommend:
- Cleaning Metal: Dust the gold-plated parts and the blade gently with a soft, dry cloth (e.g., microfibre). Do not use metal polishes, as they could damage the gold plating and etching.
- Blade Protection: Do not touch the blade with bare hands; sweat can cause stains. If this happens, wipe it off immediately.
- Grip: Protect the green part of the grip from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Safety Warning
This sword is a decorative replica. The blade is made of stainless steel, which is hard and rust-resistant but brittle. The sword is not tempered, and its construction (the tang inside the handle) is not built for dynamic stress. Never fence with this sword, do not strike objects, and do not use it as a prop for stage combat. There is a risk of the blade breaking and causing serious injury.
Recommended Accessories
A wooden wall plaque with brass mounts would be an excellent match for this sword, highlighting its golden decoration.
