Luxury Silver Templar Sword – Decorative Replica by Marto
Symbolism and Historical Heritage
The Templars, or the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, were founded in 1118 and became an elite military force of the Middle Ages. This sword reflects their splendour and spiritual dimension. On the hilt, you will find the iconic seal of two knights sitting on a single horse, originally symbolizing the order's poverty and brotherhood. The pommel bears the typical Templar cross pattée. The blade is adorned with the order's Latin motto: "Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam" (Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Thy name give glory).
Craftsmanship and Materials
The sword is a masterpiece of Spanish artisans. The blade is made of high-quality stainless steel (AISI 440), polished to a mirror shine, and decorated with intricate blackened etching featuring floral and heraldic motifs. The hilt is cast from Zamak (a zinc alloy), allowing for the finest details in the relief, and is silver-plated with contrasting gold elements. Thanks to its weight, the sword feels very massive and authentic in the hand, although it is designed exclusively for decoration.

Usage and Safety Warnings
Important Warning: This sword is categorized as a decorative item (wallhanger). Although it is made of high-quality materials, its construction is not designed to withstand impact.

Care Instructions
To keep this gem looking like new for as long as possible, please follow a few simple rules:
- Cleaning: Since the blade is made of stainless steel, it is highly resistant to corrosion. However, I recommend regularly dusting it with a soft, dry cloth.
- Fingerprints: Acidic sweat from hands can tarnish the shine over time. Wipe the blade down after every touch.
- Hilt Care: Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners or abrasive pastes on the silver and gold parts to avoid damaging the surface finish. A soft cloth is sufficient.
