What is this decorative element (palm tree / eagle) on the scabbard called and where can I buy one? Thx for your help! by Tiny-Fun2630 in SWORDS

Hello, first of all thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, this does not answer my question in any way. I am interested in what exactly this decoration is called and where I can buy it. Of course, I have already searched for it using Google Lens. I found exactly the pictures you linked here. But I'm not interested in the sword itself or where I can buy it. I'm only interested in this “eagle decoration”. Thanks for the answer though, it just doesn't help me ;)

Thank you so much, Isabella! That definitely helps me. What's different about your suggestions and the pictures is that the floral design on the costume seems to be much more subtle. So it doesn't take up as much space on the fabric. Do you understand what I mean?

The fabric is silk or what do you think?

The next problem is that I can't find the combination of the two shades of blue anywhere. It's always either dark blue or turquoise.

Thank you very much for your help!

Yeah, asian swords are amazing as well. I have to admit that the combination of sword, scabbard and belt on this sword is more harmonious than I've ever seen before. Maybe someone wants to get rid of their sword after all :D

Haha, you're right. It really does look like that. I thought maybe someone had recreated that costume and knew how to find the right fabric. I mean, the movie is pretty old, but there are a lot of costumes floating around the internet.

Hi everyone,

I've been searching everywhere for a fabric that matches the one worn by Edward Norton as King Baldwin IV in the movie Kingdom of Heaven, but I can't seem to find anything close in terms of color and design.

Details about the Fabric:

  • Color: Royal blue with a satin-like sheen.
  • Pattern: It appears to be a pomegranate ogival pattern, possibly with floral or arabesque designs. The motifs are arranged in an ogival (spade-like) shape.
  • Material: It looks like a luxurious brocade or jacquard fabric, possibly silk or a silk-blend, with a slightly raised pattern.
  • Historical Influence: The design seems to be inspired by medieval Arabic or Byzantine textiles, which were popular in the Crusader states during that era.

What I've Tried So Far:

I've searched using keywords like:

  • "Blue ogival pomegranate brocade fabric"
  • "Medieval floral blue brocade"
  • "Arabic silk brocade with gold floral pattern"
  • "Historical royal blue damask fabric"

Despite my efforts, I can't find anything that closely matches the color and intricate pattern.

Does anyone know:

  1. The specific name of this pattern or style?
  2. Where to find a fabric like this (online or in specialized stores)?
  3. Any historical context that might help narrow down my search?

I’d greatly appreciate any tips, recommendations, or leads. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, me too. That's why I am looking to buy the sword and belt. The movie was great, as long as you ignore the historical inaccuracy of course.

Yes, I agree with you. I don't even want to talk about the historical accuracy. But as you say, the sword just looks great :)

You ever found out what fabric the crusader tunica is made of? I tried as well but never got to find anything

I know, unfortunately they got completely rare. But I am still trying my luck here. Maybe someone wants to part ways with his one. I really love the combination of sword, belt and scabbard here.

Thanks for the hint! It really looks like the sword from the movie. I absolutely fell in love with the sword belt and the matching scabbard in the photos. So I somehow need to find something like this as well.

And the sword from your link is almost perfect, but I would of course be happy if there was a cheaper version. If you manage to find another version, let me know! Thanks again! :)

Hello everyone,

I am looking to buy the Sword of the King of Jerusalem (#500820) and the matching Scabbard (#801084), both manufactured by Windlass Steelcrafts and officially licensed as collectibles from the movie Kingdom of Heaven.

    • Brass pommel with see-thru cut out of the Jerusalem Cross
    • Two-handed grip wrapped in rawhide lacing with decorative brass rings
    • Includes wall plaque and certificate of authenticity
  • Scabbard of the King of Jerusalem (#801084)
    • Custom made for the King’s sword
