Jones) and his friends were shot into space, where they were captured by Evil Emperor Ming and surrounded by soldiers armed with swords. Gordon himself used one of Ming's soldier's swords when breaking up Ming's wedding, and is depicted with a similar sword on the iconic poster. This resin sword with a fiberglass filling and a gold-color metallic finish features a crimson handle and curved blade with a decorative circular protrusion on its spine. It exhibits wear from age and production, including some paint chipping throughout and damage to the circular decorative protrusion, but remains in fair overall condition.
