How much is a Franklin mint excalibur sword worth Also a samurai and a sword of Charlemagne?

Answer 1

Hi i do not know its value but a friend of mine is interested in buying an Excalibur

It really depends on who the sword is made by, how old it is, and what kind of steel it is made from.

Stainless steel is often used in decorative swords, and these swords are usually quite cheap.

Carbon steel swords can be sharpened and can often withstand cutting. Carbon steel swords come at a price though, ranging usually from $100 and up. I'll attach a few links as examples.

I have an Excalibur sword by Franklin mint. It is a limited fired edition with crystal rock wall hanger and i paid several thousand dollars for it 15 years ago. So it is worth alot more now. I would be willing to part with it for the right price. Franklin Mint does not even make these swords anymore. paisleypilot@msn.com

I don't know why you paid several thousand dollars since the Franklin Mint and it's stores charged $750.00 which I still have the receipt. The sword is sold on Ebay from 350.00 to 500.00.

Like Njfunguy stated these swords didn't cost $2,000 dollars. They cost $750 and if you got the Wall display, then around $925 total. They are mighty pretty but not worth very much. In the sword "Blue Book" that gives prices for swords and how much they are worth depending on their condition, they aren't even listed because it's not a real "sword" so to speak. It's more like a decorative display. Looks great but not sharpened and wasn't make like other "real" swords.

I bought 2 of these when they were being sold by Franklin Mint in 1989. Around 1998 I took them to a company that did appraisals for items like this for insurance purposes and got the shock of my life when they both came back appraised around the $150-$200 dollar level. And these were in MINT condition that also came with the wall displays.

Of course you'll get what someone is willing to pay you but if you took it to someone who knew their real value you wouldn't get very much out of it.

As long as YOU like it then that's all that matters. Hang it on the wall and enjoy it. But don't think you'll get rich selling it. The VALUE just isn't there. Hope this helps.
