One of the most impressive and probably scarcest 1976 Montreal Olympics souvenir you can obtain is the official ceremonial Wilkinson presentation sword. The elaborately engraved blade features blade features the 11-point Canadian maple leaf with "XXIst Olympiad Montreal MCMLXXVI" along with the Wilkinson Sword logo that reads, "By appointment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Sword Cutlers" and Made in England". The City of Montreal's cost of arms is displayed beneath, just above the hilt.
Measuring approx. 44 1/2" in length, these amazing limited-edition swords were presented to dignitaries and heads of state who were in attendance at the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympic games, as well as select IOC committee members.
These swords are very rarely seen, with this particular sword stamped with the limited-edition number of "305" along an edge of the blade just above the hilt.
Excellent condition. This sword has only a few small blemishes on the blade and the hilt is slightly tarnished. The original tag is still attached to the hilt.
