excalibur
Actually, a recently digitally modified old image of a prop from the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, the movie in which we learn that Robin Hood, Azeem the Moor, and most of the Merry Men spoke with American accents. Erroll Flynn had tried to prepare us for this decades ago, but back then sound itself was such a novelty in movies that no one noticed accents. Sean Connery would have us believe Robin was Scottish.
The sword was displayed thus in the garden of Griff Thomas, visited years ago at the Duchess in Topsham. (...and a very pleasant visit it was. Thanks, Griff!) Game of Thrones has given such images new life. Valerian steel has an ageless appeal.
