antique sword

Vintage combat weapon

An antique sword is a bladed weapon of considerable age, typically at least a century old, valued as a collectible or historical artifact.

The term appears in discussions of militaria, estate sales, and museum collections: The antique sword hung above the fireplace.

Reproductions and fantasy weapons don't qualify, though sellers sometimes blur the distinction.
