@elheru: I agree that it looks quite similar to a Centaur officer's sword. And yes, that is a Telmarine falchion in the last image. Brendan Olszowy: Thanks for the gratuitous pics, mate! I'm really liking the hilt furniture on Oreius' swords quite a bit. |

Vincent I just found a killer view of Oreius' sword. Have a look at itunes store, Reclaiming the Blade free podcasts; Exploring Weta Workshop. It's right at the end, though the whole clip is worth a watch. Nice closeups of the Rohirrim swords. Check out their other casts too while you're there guys.

Was there ever a reproduction of any of the swords from "Voyage of the Dawn Treader?" I of course mean the swords of the seven lost lords. I tried finding some pictures for reference but came up short. Anyone have any by chance?

I was always a big fan of the faun swords. Wish I could find some decent pictures of them.

Anders; here's the best picture I could find of it with just a few minutes of googling:  Unfortunately, it doesn't show the blade, but it should give you a decent idea. |

Oh, I know what they look like. Heck, I could probably pull some pics from my the DVD if I really needed them. I just think it would be nice with some high resolution photos to capture all the details.
(In fact, I think publishing high-rez photos of fantasy movie props should be required by law or something.)
Still, a valiant attempt, Vincent. I didn't even find that much.

I agree most definitely on requiring high-res photos of the props; I actually originally started this thread because of the Faun sword, but you can't tell, 'cause I cleaned out my Photobucket account awhile back and deleted them. I never thought someone would use threadomancy on this topic.
Anyways, all I had to do was Google "narnia faun sword" and it brought up a picture of the Satyr's pseudo-kopesh blade and in the same Flickr gallery is the above picture; albeit, since I couldn't actually post it, I screen-capped it and cropped it to just show the sword.

A few years late to the game, but I thought I would weight in. I bought a plastic but screen accurate official licensed Caspian's side sword costume piece, and holy perfect fit Batman, if someone produced a real version I would be all over it. It looks good, it feels right. The blade tapers nicely, lending to the look that it can both slash and stab effectively. The pommel has just enough room to hand and half for heavy strikes and stabs. I broke the blade at the hilt while over zealously slashing it it about, but it has since been repaired. If anyone wants pictures or dimensions I'd be happy to oblige.

Indeed. The only major difference from the film sword is the knuckle bow, but I actually really prefer the look of that.
