MARTO 582 ALFANJE PLATA
Experience the rich heritage and striking elegance of the Arabic Scimitar Cutlass Sword by Marto, crafted in the legendary sword-making city of Toledo, Spain. This exquisite reproduction brings to life a historic masterpiece inspired by a prized original displayed in Madrid’s Museo del Ejército, capturing the spirit and power of the Arabian/Moorish cutlass that shaped the battlefield during the Crusades.
The word “Scimitar” originates from the Persian term *shamshir*, meaning “lion’s tail,” an apt description for this fierce yet beautifully curved weapon. Traditionally favored by Muslim armies and iconic Arab horsemen, the scimitar’s unique short, single-edged blade widens toward its tip, resulting in a perfect balance of speed, agility, and slashing power. Its significance stretches beyond pure combat; it remains a potent symbol deeply etched in Islamic culture, proudly appearing on the coat of arms of Saudi Arabia and East Timor, embodying heritage and strength.
Marto’s reproduction boasts remarkable craftsmanship that honors Toledo’s centuries-old tradition as a world-renowned center of sword-making, especially during the Moorish period. The sword features a distinctive crossguard with an elegant asymmetrical design—rising gracefully on one side while tapering toward the other, framing the wide, curved blade with subtle artistry. The blade itself, forged from durable 420 stainless steel, measures an impressive 25 inches with a broad tip spanning 4.5 inches, while the overall sword length reaches 32.25 inches, making it a stunning display piece and a faithful functional replica.
This Arabic Scimitar Cutlass is part of Marto’s exclusive “Historical, Fantastic, and Legend Swords” collection, combining tradition, history, and impeccable quality. Each piece is accompanied by a Certificate of Quality and Origin ensuring authenticity and superior craftsmanship from Toledo, Spain—where legends of sword-making live on.
