Sparta Shield, Bronze-Faced Hoplon

This bronze-faced hoplon shield draws on the equipment of Greek heavy infantry, styled after the Spartan tradition with modest, restrained detailing.

Greek hoplites, including the allied and mercenary contingents that marched with Alexander the Great into the Persian Empire, fought with the traditional hoplite panoply: a thrusting spear (doru), a bronze-faced hoplon shield, and body armour. The earliest depictions of hoplite-style shields appear on proto-Corinthian pottery dating to around 700 BC, showing armoured spearmen carrying the large round shields that would come to define Greek heavy infantry for centuries.

This reproduction recreates that bronze-faced hoplon form, suited to a Spartan or general Greek hoplite impression.

    Bowie Knife, Horn Handle

    SKU: AH3198

    The Bowie knife is a pattern of fixed-blade fighting knife that takes its name from Jim Bowie, who became famous for using a large knife of this kind in an 1827 duel known as the Sandbar Fight.

    That incident, on a Mississippi River sandbar near Natchez, cemented Bowie’s reputation and, within a few years, established “Bowie knife” as the name for the broad-bladed fighting and utility knives that became genuinely popular across the 19th-century American frontier. This version is finished with a horn handle, characterised by a large, broad blade.

    This reproduction recreates that classic 19th-century American frontier knife, suited to display or collection.
