Historical
Costume Weapons
Our inventory includes a diverse selection of historical weapons spanning from the ancient Greek era to contemporary military sabers, and geographically from the Scottish Sparth axe to the Japanese Katanas. The weapons displayed on this page are exclusively costume or dress weapons, designed for display rather than combat use. This is due to the lower-grade steel used in their blades, which, while visually appealing, lack the durability required for combat.
For inquiries regarding the rental of costume weapons for upcoming productions or choreography services, please contact us via email at ross@fortestagecombat.com, phone at 847-217-7505, or complete a request form on our contact page.
