Angels have been known to walk among men, guide them, and even eat with them from time to time. These beings are the soldiers in God's army, wielding unfathomable power that pales in comparison to that of the Almighty.
What weapon is more befitting a warrior than a sword? This interpretation of St. Gabriel's sword is nothing short of incredible! The Archangel Gabriel is the one who delivered the message to Zechariah that his wife would give birth to John The Baptist, who would prepare the way for Jesus. (Source)
Obverse
I'm really not sure which side is considered the obverse versus the reverse, so I just picked this side. The level of detail put into the hilt, the feathers in the handguard, and even the prayer inscribed on the blade is fantastic!
The Latin phrase inscribed here, "PRINCEPS GLORIOSSIME, GABRIEL ARCHANGELE, ESTO MEMOR NOSTRI" translates to "Most glorious prince Gabriel the Archangel, be our memory."
Reverse
The reverse is just as stunning.
The prayer inscribed on this side, "HIC ET UBIQUE SEMPER PRECARE PRO NOBIS FILIUM DEI, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA." translates to "Here and everywhere always pray for us children of God, halleluja, hallelujah."
Specifications
Purity: .999
Weight: 2.5oz
Mintage: 15,000 (Source)
I paid $136.95 for this exquisite piece. The going price online ranges from around $150-165. Considering swords are a cool design, these are well-made and a low-mintage series, I foresee this and the other pieces in the series growing in value. I'd highly recomend grabbing one of these!
