The Cathars—condemned as diabolical heretics by the Roman church—are often hailed as a manifestation of a separate, ‘primitive’ brand of Christianity. If you travel to towns like Toulouse, Albi, and Carcassonne today, you’ll see signs proclaiming the Pays Cathare, ‘Cathar country’ with prominent displays of the gold-and-red Cathar cross, which is misleading since they didn’t worship the cross.

This Cathars letter opener is a fine miniature of the larger sword produced by Art Gladius. The blade is made of stainless steel and in much detail as its larger counterpart. The Art Gladius Cathars letter opener is a perfect accent for the home or office.

During the course of the 16th century, the Conquistador Rapier slowly eclipsed the classic sword as a gentleman's weapon of choice. As part of this development thrusting techniques gradually replaced cutting techniques, which meant that a shield was too bulky to be effective. Swordsmen who used rapiers often held daggers in their left hands for parrying their opponents' thrusts.

The Celt-Iberians of Roman times were justly famed for their weapons, such as the Falcata; one of the most devastating swords ever made! The inward curving blade delivers a tremendous blow and could split both shield and helmet. The Almedinilla Falcata was one of the many found by Luis Maraver and Alfaro in 1867 during the excavations of the Iberian necropolis of Los Collados, next to the town of Cerro de la Cruz.

Our miniature replica features a guard in the shape of a horse’s head, decorated with vegetal, geometric and zoomorphic motifs. This is the miniature version of Art Gladius's Iberian “Almedinilla” Falcata (AG206).

The mini sword comes complete with a display stand.
