A Templar sword, nice decorative object!

This is a decorative object that looks nice on the wall! This sword has the theme of the Templars who played a fairly large role in history, here is some explanation about the Templars:

The Order of the Knights Templar or Order of the Temple (Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon) was a Christian crusader order that waged a Holy War against the Muslims in the Holy Land as a small part of the crusader armies at the time of the Crusades. They were structured as an order of monks modeled on the Cistercians and were active both monastically and militarily. The order originated from a brotherhood of mainly French crusaders, of which at least Hugo van Payns and the Flemish nobleman Godfrey of Sint-Omer were members. The brotherhood made the classical monastic vows of poverty, chastity and obedience before the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem around 1118. The order was then officially recognized by the Catholic Church in 1129 and survived for almost 200 years. The Templars eventually became so powerful and wealthy that the French king Philip the Fair did everything he could to get rid of them.

The brotherhood initially consisted of a small group of knights who planned to protect the pilgrims in Palestine. During their journeys through the Holy Land, from one place to another protected by crusaders, the pilgrims were regularly victims of raids by natives from the countryside.

As you can read, there is a lot of history behind the Templars and that makes this product all the more fun and interesting! The blade is made of steel!
