Hessian Horseman Sword

[PHArchivist]

Why is the company's web page the ONLY place I see any sign of this sword?

Never seen chatter of it here on the RPF...

Can't find it in the secondary market...

Been looking for one myself for some time...never seem to find one

That's a pretty awesome design. I'd be interested in seeing more about it for sure.

I remember some posts about it but I don't know if it ever was released?

Hopefully some one will chime in

I managed to get hold of the Factory X sword some years back. Also have the Axe.

If they're really hard to get hold of now, I think I'll keep them for my retirement

Have those myself. But the Factory X sword was a disappointment, and this one seemed dead on.

Beginning to wonder myself...

This thread shows the sword was released and also a picture that compares the Museum Replicas version with the Factory X version was posted:

I now see the difference!
The Factory X version was heavy. The Museum Replicas version must weigh a ton!

Thanks for posting that... Proves how meager and disappointing the Factory X sword was.

Still, the Museum Replicas sword seems very rare. Was Heisenberg the ONLY RPF member to get this? I'd be surprised if so...

I do remember that someone was going to make Hessian replica swords but the price was really high for most of us prop guys...plus it was a real sword...I just wanted a costume piece. Still would be on my list of props...hint hint someone more talented than I needs to tackle it.

I designed a version and can surely make a few, I can do real steel or aluminum blades...

I would imagine steel would be fairly expensive...?

 

[irishamericanlad]

For real steel? Like real carbon death blades, prolly about 1200 total... But I can always work with you, we can fid an existing blade from a sword and use that instead

Which is fair, (Albion was $1,500), albeit out of my range.

Would aluminum be notably less, or just a little bit so?

I owned a Museum Replicas sword a while ago and it was a beast! It weighed about five pounds, but it was super accurate. I was going to buy the sword's actual production molds that were used for the film, but unfortunately the owners and I could not make a deal.

 

[irishamericanlad]

I own a production cast .. That is a huge sword indeed...

SO this is weird. I have been looking for this sword for ever...they never pop up on ebay, and if they do they sell for alot...by chance I went to museum replicas website to look at pics of the sword on sunday. It has said SOLD OUT forever...but sunday it said CLOSEOUT. I called them right away and they said they had one in stock...which seemed weird to the customer service guy since it sold out like a month after they came out. He checked and they had one. Could have been a return that never got filed or lost in the store room...I don't know...what I do know is I bought it straight away!

It's 45 inches long and heavy! Now to start the Hessian costume!

Oh you killing me! :facepalm

YOU are very lucky!

I did not hesitate. It's not even on the website now. but I was a bit nervous, that when I opened it, it would be broken or the wrong item. So glad to have gotten this.
