Achilles' (Brad Pitt) hero sword from Wolfgang Petersen's mythical epic Troy. Achilles wielded his sword throughout the film, using it to brutal effect during his efficient dispatching of Boagrius (Nathan Jones) in the opening scene, in his battles against the Trojan Apollonians, and in his vicious duel with Hector (Eric Bana).

This is the hero version of this spectacular weapon, created for close-up shots and made from heavyweight materials to the highest standards. The blade forms a delicate curved-leaf shape. It is made of solid bronze and decorated with curved inlays coming down from its black, solid-cast resin handle. There are holes at each corner of the grip, giving the illusion of rivets, and a ridge runs down the centre of the blade to just below the tip.

The weapon comes with a bespoke display stand, made in the production's workshop, which features a marble-like stone base, with the film-title artwork painted in gold. Green paint has been skillfully applied to the handle and bottom of the blade to create the appearance of a verdigris patina, and the weapon has been intentionally distressed to look battle-worn. Dimensions (displayed): 21 cm x 13 cm x 76 cm (8¼" x 5¼" x 30")
