The medieval Crusader Italian-made sword used to be given as a gift to the Mamluk rulers of Alexandria by the Christian ruler of Cyprus and Jerusalem, King Peter I as a part of a gift sealing a treaty. King Peter I, the King of Cyprus and Jerusalem, launched the last Crusade in 1362 against the Muslim Mamluk Empire in the region. A fleet set out from Cyprus and proved victorious, taking the city of Alexandria with immense amounts of plunder returned to Cyprus, including this sword. Such used to be the treasure and weapons taken from the captured city that a number of the overloaded ships had to jettison cargo. David Williams, Head of Bonhams Antique Arms and Armor Department, says: “The fascination of this sword is that it has survived some six centuries having been gifted by a Christian King to a Muslim ruler and kept in the famed Alexandrian armory and then taken by force by Crusaders and returned to Europe. This is a remarkable survivor of the Crusader period.”” The elite Kingdom of Arms Crusader Medieval War Sword features a hand hammered 5160 carbon steel blade as the originals were made, full tang, heat treated and tempered as the originals, for a strong yet flexible blade so as to hold a very sharp edge, with a leather wrapped handle
