Gold Excalibur Sword – Luxury Marto Replica from Toledo
A Jewel Among Swords of Toledo Steel
This sword is primarily a work of art. Its blade is made of high-quality AISI 440 stainless steel, hardened and polished to a mirror finish. Thanks to this, the sword retains its appearance for decades without the need for the rigorous maintenance required by carbon steels. Furthermore, the blade is adorned with deep etching featuring inscriptions and floral motifs, adding historical authenticity in the spirit of Romanticism.
The hilt is a true feast for the eyes. The crossguard and pommel are cast from Zamak alloy and subsequently gold-plated (often using gold leaf in Marto's premium lines), creating a breathtaking contrast with the black leather-wrapped grip. Details include intricate Celtic knots and mythical dragons or lions, symbolizing the strength and wisdom of King Arthur.
Usage and Safety
It is important to realize that although the sword looks sturdy, it is strictly a decorative item.
- Not intended for combat: The construction uses a "rat-tail tang" (where the blade is screwed to the pommel), which is not built to withstand impact. Striking with it could cause the blade to break and result in serious injury.
- Not intended for training: Stainless steel is hard but brittle.
- Intended Use: Ideal as wall decoration, a prop for photoshoots, a costume accessory (provided no combat occurs), or as a luxurious gift.

Historical Note: Excalibur vs. The Sword in the Stone
In popular culture, these two swords are often confused, but in many versions of the Arthurian legends, they are two different weapons. The "Sword in the Stone" proved Arthur's right to the throne but often broke in battle. Excalibur (Welsh Caledfwlch, Latin Caliburnus) was later received by Arthur from the Lady of the Lake. It was a magical sword, the scabbard of which had the power to protect the bearer from bleeding to death. Upon Arthur's death, Excalibur was returned to the waters of the lake. This replica by Marto pays homage to this mythical weapon in all its glory.
How to Care for the Sword
To ensure this gem stays beautiful forever:
- Occasionally wipe the sword with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and fingerprints (human sweat is acidic/aggressive).
- Do not expose the sword to direct humidity. Even though the blade is stainless, the gold-plated Zamak parts can oxidize due to moisture.
- Do not use abrasive pastes or wire wool, as you would scratch the polished surface and ruin the gold plating.
