FLASH GORDON (1980) - Ming Guard's Sword - A Ming guard's sword from Mike Hodges' Flash Gordon. Guards protecting Ming the Merciless (Max von Sydow) wielded swords stocked in the War Rocket Ajax's armory when they captured Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones). Gordon later used one of their swords to break up Ming's wedding, and wielded a similar style of sword on the film's theatrical poster.

This fiberglass and resin sword features a curved blade with a decorative star-shaped engraving at center and a shiny gold-color finish, as well as a matching pommel and plated crimson grip. The sword exhibits extensive paint flaking, with much of its finish peeling and some fractures along the blade. Dimensions: 45" x 8" x 2.5" (114.5 cm x 20.5 cm x 6.5 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
