Willow, Sword And Scabbard

original movie prop

A sword and scabbard used in the 1988 fantasy film Willow, starring Val Kilmer and Warrick Davies. The sword can be seen being used by those sent by the evil Queen Bavmorda to find the baby Elora throughout the film, and George Lucas can be seen leaning on a similar sword on the cover of a Lucasfilm Fan Club magazine. The sword is made from moulded resin and the blade has been painted to look like dull metal, the guard and pommel are detailed with ridges and crosses and the hilt is wrapped with brown leather thong. The scabbard is made from very dark leather with a woven leather decoration around the centre, and there is a robust belt loop also made from leather riveted to the top. There are some small chips along the blade from use on set and measures 94cm (37”) long.
