Description

Braveheart (Paramount, 1995), Mel Gibson "William Wallace" Hero SFX War Hammer. Original hero SFX War Hammer used by William Wallace (Mel Gibson) in the Battle of Stirling in the 1995 period epic Braveheart. Measuring 31" x 10.5" the War Hammer is constructed of a long carved wooden shaft expertly distressed to appear worn and topped with an aluminum metallic head featuring a unique adze with 4- points and a two-piece retractable claw to mimic piercing an enemy's armor for SFX shots. This War Hammer is used by Wallace as he bludgeons the head of a British cavalryman during the Battle of Stirling, the first major victory of the Scottish rebellion against the British. This is one of the most memorable sequences in the film, preceded by Wallace's stirring rallying cry as his countrymen face down the large numbers of British who clearly out number them. Item exhibits some oxidation to the aluminum head and some scuffs to the shaft, as expected with production used weaponry. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From The Stewart Berkowitz Television Treasures Collection.
