HIGHLANDER (1986) - Ramirez's (Sean Connery) Katana
Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez’s (Sean Connery) hero katana from the Russell Mulcahy fantasy-adventure Highlander. The Spanish-Egyptian immortal used his sword to train Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) to face The Kurgan (Clancy Brown), eventually falling to the barbarian and losing his head in the Scottish Highlands. The mysterious sword was passed to MacLeod, and was a key plot device throughout the series, becoming his signature weapon through the ages. Custom-made for the production, this hero sword boasts a polished stainless steel blade, a machined aluminium guard, a cast resin grip and a red leather-covered wooden scabbard. The blade is blunt and smooth to ensure safety during use on set. The grip features relief detailing of Japanese dragons, lions and Japanese samurai and has a faux-ivory finish. The guard is finished in faux-gold, as are the scabbard’s cast metal side and end caps. The piece displays some scrapes, pitting and corrosion across the guard, grip and scabbard from production use, with the blade clean and displaying minimal wear. Also included is an 11" x 14" lobby card used in the promotion of the movie. Dimensions (sheathed): 103cm x 10 cm x 10 cm (40 ½" x 4" x 4") VAT Status - Margin
