I still have some touching-up to do to get the sword to look right, but here is a pic of the Pommel of the Conan sword (the bottom detail) this will be as true to the real thing as it can be. Let me know what you think. Dwmdesigner

That's some amazing detail. It's a very close match for the original.

I am still tweaking the colors, the actual sword has Brass/bronze details on the Pommel and the guard. Tony Swatton, a guy I know here in Los Angeles, has one & I have been able to look at it very closely,Amazing detail, I wish I could afford one but that's an expensive hobby (Prop Sword Collecting), although I do have a replica of the original Ivory handle Sword from Highlander, maybe I will model that next?

It is indeed an expensive hobby. You can find relatively inexpensive Conan-style swords (like the one from Museum Replicas), but they aren't a good match. At the other end of the spectrum, you've got limited-edition masterworks (like the stuff from Albion Armorers), perfect replicas that cost upwards of $10000.

I have no movie replicas myself, but have "collected" quite a few generic swords over the years.
