One of the most impressive and probably the scarcest 1976 Montreal Olympics souvenir piece you can obtain is this official ceremonial Wilkinson presentation sword. The elaborately engraved 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 coat of arms is displayed on both sides just above the hilt. Measuring 44 1/4" overall, these amazing limited edition swords were presented to dignitaries from each country present at the Montreal Olympics games, as well as select IOC committee members, and are very rarely seen with this particular sword not stamped with a number on the side of the blade. In beautiful condition with small scratched to the wood handle.
The other side of the sword has text "XXIe Olympiade Montreal MCMLXXVI" along with the Wilkinson Sword logo that reads, "By appointment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Sword Cutlers" and "Made in England".
