Unique replica of the coronation sword of kings of Poland – “szczerbiec”. Szczerbiec was created probably at the turn of the 12th and 13th century. Its first historically documented owner was the Boleslav I Mazovian (1208-1248) and the first use was in the coronation of  Vladislaus the Elbow-High (1320). During World War II it was transported to Canada. Actually is on the Wawel Royal Castle National Art Collection in Cracow.

The hilt consists of a round pommel, a flat grip and an arched crossguard. All parts of the hilt are covered with golden plates, which are engraved with sharp or rounded stylus and decorated with niello, or black metallic inlay that contrasts against the golden background. On the obverse side of the hilt, the pommel bears a large stylized letter T on top of a letter C or G (the latter could be just a decorative element of the letter T) between the Greek letters alpha and omega surmounted with little crosses. Below the letter T, there is another cross placed within a cloud or flower with twelve petals. On the chamfered edge around this design runs a circular Latin inscription in two rings which reads: Rec figura talet ad amorem regum / et principum iras iudicum ("This sign rouses the love of kings and princes, the wrath of judges").The grip bears the symbols of two of the Four Evangelists: the lion of Saint Mark and the ox of Saint Luke, as well as an Agnus Dei (Lamb of God). The crossguard bears the following Latin inscription: Quicumque hec / nomina Deii secum tu/lerit nullum periculum / ei omnino nocebit ("Whoever will carry these names of God with him, no danger will harm him").The reverse side of the pommel is decorated with a vine bush surrounded by a wreath of vine leaves. On the reverse of the grip, there are the eagle of Saint John and the angel of Saint Matthew, and another Agnus Dei. The crossguard bears, above another pattern of vine leaves, an inscription in corrupted Hebrew in Latin script: Con citomon Eeve Sedalai Ebrebel ("Fervent faith incite the names of God: Sedalai and Ebrehel").On the opposite ends of the crossguard, there are again the symbols of Saints John and Matthew. Just below the hilt, there are three perforations in the fuller of the blade. The replica was made of highcarbon, Toledan steel.
