At 20 pounds, this may be the heaviest, prop replica we've ever offered. Know something else? It might be one of the coolest we're ever offered too.

An officially licensed, exact replica of the battle damaged shields of King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans. In fact, there are only 300 of these being made worldwide, one for each of the Spartans at the battle of Thermopylae. Those of you who know the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, or who have read Frank Miller's Graphic novel (or even seen a trailer of the movie), know that the shields of the Spartans took an arrow or two in that battle. When you face one million soldiers of the Persian army, you're bound to get a few scratches on your shield.

The shield is sculpted from poly-resin, precisely what the Spartans of the time would have used. It is exactly the same dimensions as the Spartan shields from Frank Miller's 300 -- about 3 feet in diameter. It bears an upside-down "V" across the front, symbol of the Spartans in Miller's graphic novel.

The 300 Spartan shield is a Limited Edition (only 300 worldwide).

The flintlock pistol was the greatest advance in pirating since the wooden leg. The concept was fairly simple: gunpowder was stuffed into the barrel. A lead ball, usually wrapped in some sort of fabric, was stuffed in. A hammer was then pulled back half-way and left that way until the gun was ready to fire. The pistol technically was not meant to fire in this position, although sometimes they were known to go off half-cocked (and yes, that is the origin of that expression). When the gun was ready to be fired, the hammer was pulled back all the way and the trigger was squeezed. If you're feeling flinty, go check out the Strongblade selection of flintlock pistols, blunderbuss pistols and flintlock rifles.
