Description

Camelot prop "Excalibur" sword. (Warner Bros., 1967) In Camelot, the romantic Lerner and Lowe musical telling of King Arthur and his beloved Guinevere, the most important prop must be the Excalibur sword. The 40 in. long sword was made in Spain for the production. Consisting of steel blade with an ornate 8.25 x 10.25 in. brass handle, grip with pommel. One side of the blade is engraved with, "Whoso Pulleth Out This Sword Of This Stone Is Rightwise King Born Of All England". Excalibur is seen in three pivotal scenes in the film; the knighting of Lancelot, the christening of the Round Table, and the finale. The sword is also spoken of when Arthur meets Guinevere and relates the story of how he retrieved it from the stone to win her over. In production-used, very good condition. With uniform tarnish to the blade.
