Classic Spartan/Greek War spear set #1 -like 300 Movie- This is a set that clearly recalls the classic era of the Greeks, specifically that of the war-like Spartan people: In 480 BC King Leonites of Sparta and a small band of his men penned up a Persian army numbered at a million men in the pass at Thermopylae for three days, in what has to be the most famous 'last stand' in history. As seen in the recent movie '300', named for the number of Spartans who held the pass and died doing so, they were great heroes, and well worthy of the immortality they bought at the price of their lives.This set includes a well made, stylized Corinthian full-sized helmet, a style of helmet that was among the most popular helms during the Archiac and early Classical periods because it was less expensive to manufacture and did not obstruct the wearer's critical senses of vision and hearing. Numerous examples of Corinthian helmets have been excavated and has been depicted on more sculpture than any other helmet. It seems that the Greeks romantically associated it with glory and the past. The Romans also revered it, placing it on their copies of the Greek originals to sculptures of their own. This is a well made, full size helmet in 18ga, the finish of which has been antiqued and t is a sturdily mounted black horse hair plume, both of which make this helmet stand out in any group. The helm stands at about 13" in overall height. It measures 11" front to back and about 7.5" from ear to ear. T is no padding with this helmet though lightweight arming caps can also be purchased through us.It comes with a beautiful spear, made with a broad leaf shaped spear blade. This is a classic design seen throughout history. Both spear blade and pointed end cap are made of polished steel. The pale wood shaft with a burnt wood design is made in two pieces that can unscrew at the center, allows ease in shipping and storage. This spear measures a full 70" in total length. The blade has a pointed tip and is not recommended for combat use or sword play. As with any weapon, the suitability or unsuitability for any use is the responsibility of the user. No use whatsoever is endorsed. Both these items are similar to the items used in the movie '300', but are not from the movie, they are historical reproductions. These items are new, no problems.
