The Inigo Montoya Rapier from the The Princess Bride
Collectible Movie Sword
Description:
Six months in creation, the Montoya Rapier was created as a
reproduction of the 17th century style swept hilt rapier from the movie The
Princess Bride. This sword is a spectacular piece where function meets
craftsmanship in a stunning example of the swordmakers Art.
The blade is EN45 spring steel, reflecting the style of blade seen on early to
mid C17th rapiers. The hilt and detail reproduces that of Inigo Montoyas sword
from the movie, the legend being that it was ordered by the rich though
dastardly six fingered Count Rugen and created by Inigo`s father, Domingo
Montoya.
It was a swordmaker's sword, being tailored and balanced for a six-fingered man
and featuring gold and jewels throughout. When Rugen collects the sword, he
refuses to pay the full amount and runs Domingo through the heart in front of
his son, Inigo. Inigo swears revenge upon Rugen from that day on and spends his
life studying the Art of swordsmanship and seeks out the Count for their
climactic duel where Inigo defeats Rugen with the very rapier that killed his
father.
The hilt is 24 carat gold plated bronze, bearing hand carved detail on each branch that
tells the stories of Rugen, Domingo and Inigo. Their paths are interwoven
throughout the hilt, bringing the story of the sword together as one. Each sword
bears 32 inset (genuine) garnet and lapis lazuli stones that give a deep rich
accent to the gold hilt and pommel.
The dimensions and balance of the sword are perfect. . . .for any six fingered
man.
