Considering they used a fantastical kopis in the movie....not a xiphos or gladius....this doesn't have a thing to do with 300. No expert in ancient weapons...but it looks like an odd mish mash of xiphos blade shape (seems too narrow and leaf shaped to me to be considered like the Mainz gladius type), gladius blade cross section like an MRL repro, pseudo gladius cross (but an open bowl?!?), rustic grip, and that enormous wheel pommel that looks industrial.

Thanks - that was my assessment as well. Definitely not from the movie 300, but a weird xiphos / gladius hybrid blade with cheap looking fittings. Not worth anywhere near the asking price.
