We have two left and have priced them at the rock bottom price. Also, a popular discontinued Medieval shield is the Plantaganet rampant lion shield. Both of these historical replica shields would look terrific in a your den or in your hand at your next reenactment event or save them and sell them at a higher price later.
Our store also has the best price on the popular 300 Spartan shield. Eventually the production will cease and buying this movie replica will be impossible.

TheCastleCourt is pleased to announce that we are running a very special price on the Tinker longswords, both the blunt and the sharp. These are the swords that have been so long anticipated from CAS/Hanwei. Mr. Smith is world renown for his knowledge of the medieval sword. Following is the review of the Longsword by Sean Hayes, one of the best instructors in the world on sword technique.
"I had the opportunity to handle the prototype Tinker Pearce Line Longswords by CAS/Hanwei, and they are beautiful, well-balanced, quick-handling swords at an excellent price. The sharp and blunt versions handle almost identically in cuts, thrusts, and quick posta (guard) transitions. These promise to be the mid-priced training weapon of choice for longsword studies."
CAS Hanwei is discontinuing some of its popular items, and this will be your last chance to purchase these. TheCastleCourt still has a limited supply of these products in stock.
They are discontinuing all of their Japanese full suits of armour with the exception of the Daisy Armour. We still have the outstanding Japanese Dragon armour in stock. Once it is gone we will never see this striking armour again. If you would like to have this piece, now is the time.
Also the CAS Hanwei battle ready Roman sword or gladius is discontinued. The CastleCourt still has a limited number of these swords in stock.
Perhaps the most striking helmets ever produced by CAS Hanwei is also to be discontinued. The replica Sutton Hoo helmet will no longer be available.

Some trace the history of Halloween back to the Celtic people of pre-medieval Europe.The Celts divided the year into halves, the “light half” consisting of spring and summer.The “dark half” comprised fall and winter.Celts celebrated the light half with the festival of “Samhain” (pronounced sah-wen), which they observed during the October/November lunar cycle.Following the Roman conquest of Britain, the Celts adopted the Julian calendar and celebrated Samhain on November l.
Other historians believe the origin of Halloween resulted from the tradition of celebrating the lives of Christian martyrs on the date of their deaths.Pope Boniface in May 13, 609 established one day of remembrance for the martyrs.Pope Gregory later changed the date of remembrance to November 1 and he deemed it all saints day.The night before was known as All Hallows’s Eve (“Halloween” being a colloquial contraction of that phrase). Costumes and gifts and bobbing for apples became part of this new holiday.They remain to this day.
