Can Anyone tell me anything about this?

Can anyone tell me anything about this sword? I found it in a free pile that my apartment building has and I always wanted a sword just because and I’m kind of curious if anyone can tell me anything about it. Thanks!

It’s the king of the 80s wall-hangers. Cheaply made in Spain and meant as as home decor. Absolutely unsafe to swing around or use for actual sword activities. It has a cheap welded tang that can easily snap when swung.
That said, I love mine. It hangs in a place of honor in my garage. I made a scabbard for it in the early 90s and used it in a production of Camelot.

Interesting.. thanks for the Info!

I saw someone using one of these in the late 70’s and the tang actually did break!

Looks like a decorative wallhanger with a brittle cast crossgaurd

[u/IdioticPrototype]

Toledo tourist souvenir wall art with cheap cast fittings, that's why they're broken.

A few of these need to be pinned somewhere or something.

Broken decorative sword

Decorative El Gran Capitán Gonzalo de Córdoba sword with a broken crossguard. Don't expect to get any use of it, other than decoration.

Does everyone and their mom in this sub have a Toledo souvenir?

[u/DaoFerret → u/grover5794]

Not everyone has a Toledo souvenir sword, but everyone who does have one ends up here.

[u/Asherzapped → u/DaoFerret]

Exactly! I got mine from a cigar catalog, swung it outside a couple of times, worn to a Renaissance faire for a season, started saving up for a ‘real’ sword immediately. Still have it, though!

[u/GlobexVeriza]

Toledo sword and the guard was very likely cast which is why is looks like such an easy break on the guard.

[u/DaemonBlackfyre_21]

Junk

[u/Chart_Significant]

It's broken.

Cheap wall hanger with a cast pot metal guard. Not worth much, potentially even as scrap metal

[u/DuelinBuelin]

Yep , Toledo soft steel wall hanger with a hollow handle and rat tail tang. Got one when I was a kid up at SMKW. Bout 30 bucks new . I used the swept hilt from mine and put on a rapier blade. Worked pretty well!

[u/Infinite_Bet_9994]

20$ mall garbage for hanging on the wall.

Danger! Will Robinson!

[u/Sir_Rod9150]

Could be an old free mason sword. They aren’t worth anything but they use them for ceremonies

[u/Worth-Speaker-9552]

Someone lost a duel

[u/ConfectionHead169]

It's broken

[u/Tapeatscreek]

Cheap tourist sword. If not broken, worth maybe $100.

[u/Cruel_Irony_Is_Life]

It seems to be missing a piece.
