From my brother's collection: This Klingon Battle Sword is VINTAGE, one of the earlier in the collection. This weapon is in really great condition, please see photos for verification of my statement. The detail on this particular model is impressive. There is an intricate black on the 2 larger blades on both sides, and a similar design on the center exposed triangle space of the handle. The design of this weapon is far superior than many of the others I found online. For a collector of Star Trek memorabilia, or an enthusiast of hand combat weapons, this, I would imagine, is a must have addition of impressive quality. See the photos and consider this item for your prized display.
