Movie Swords Are Not Just for Collectors no comments
Among the most popular kinds of weapons to put on display are those that are replicas of movie swords. These kinds of swords are popular among many groups of enthusiasts, such as those that are fans of a particular movie, a certain genre of weapons like science fiction or sword lovers in general who want something unique for their collection. Of course movie swords can also become valuable collector’s items and therefore are also suitable for being an interesting form of investment for those that like to collect all kinds of items that have the potential of being worth more than the purchase price in the future.
Since many movies have made use of swords in them, it is possible to find different styles of bladed weapons. There are the pure fantasy based movie swords, such as those from Conan the Barbarian or Elven swords from the Lord of the Rings, but there are also just as many which are similar to or based on real, functional swords. Realistic movie swords and weapons are those such as Rambo movie knives or the Samurai swords from the movie Kill Bill or even the Katana from Samurai 3000. In addition, those that want to stay with a main theme can also collect movie swords that have a certain style, such as medieval or Japanese. Almost all of the movie swords manufactured have stainless steel blades which means that they can only be used for props or putting on display and not practicing with.
As collectibles, movie swords need to meet certain requirements in order for them to have any chance at all of becoming a valued collector’s item. When looking for a movie sword to purchase it is important to not just keep the details and overall look in mind, but also the materials used and whether or not it is a limited edition and comes with an official license. Movie swords that are replicas, but not original and licensed copies, are easy enough to come by and although they may look good on display they will not become valuable. The more limited of an edition a movie sword is, the better it will be and it is also a must for the sword to come with a certificate of authenticity.
Don’t you Just Love Movie Swords? no comments
I know I do, I used to collect samurai sword and Japanese swords only, for a long time my only preoccupation when it comes to my sword collection was to find high quality battle-ready samurai swords, from time to time I would add a Japanese war sword to my collection but that’s it…My whole collection was entirely based on Japanese weapons..
Now i have decided to change that, my new goal is to develop a side collection based Replica Movie Swords & Props.

Medieval Jewelry and swords no comments
There is a small but avid market for medieval Jewellery; most of the people looking for this type of merchandise are hardcore medieval fan, and then also often collect medieval costume but mostly medieval swords and weapons.
The type of jewellery we are talking about here include:
• Necklace
• Bracelet
• Anklet
• Hair Stick
• rings
• and even movie props
The movie props movie is an even bigger market than the medieval jewellery market. For example you can get your hands on the lord of the ring jewellery for most the main characters. While it may be of no interest to some, for many this is a dream come true, they can buy items from a movie they really liked, like the necklace of Arwen or the ring from Aragorn and even the One Ring.
All of these items are great looking for a medieval and movie fan. But like i said most are fully involved in their medieval passion and merchant knows it pretty well. This is why most of the online store where you will find Celtic jewellery or even roman and medieval jewellery, you will also find medieval sword, fantasy swords and even movie swords. Some of them even carry costumes in inventory so that any medieval fan out there can find what they are looking for in one place.
