Dark Knight Armoury has replicas from the biggest blockbuster film of 2007, 300 The Movie. All our 300 replicas come with a Certificate of Authenticity and are fully functional. We have the real steel high carbon steel sword, the huge Spartan Shield, Spartan greaves and bracers that are made of antique brass over steel. Dark Knight Armoury carries the red Spartan cape, and two styles of brooches to make it authentic looking. Finally we do have the famous Leonidas Helmet with a black plume as well as the Spartan helm.

Frank Miller's 300, the movie is about as amazing a movie as you'll ever see. Based on the Battle of Thermopylae, the movie follows the stylized historical account from Miller's earlier graphic novel of the same name. In reality, several Greek city-states, including Athens and Sparta, banded together to resist the Persian empire from conquering Greece. The battle went badly for Greece, and only 300 Elite Spartan soldiers, led by their King Leonidas, stood against the might of the Persian empire. The strength of the Persians was reported at anywhere from 250,000 to one million (One million might have been stretching it a bit.) But by using the terrain to their advantage, the 300 Spartans held off the Persians for days.
