An original production-made halberd created for the 2016 feature film Assassin’s Creed, directed by Justin Kurzel and starring Michael Fassbender.

Produced for use by background performers during the film’s extensive medieval battle sequences, this imposing pole-arm was designed to evoke the appearance of a late fifteenth-century battlefield weapon while remaining practical and manageable for repeated use on set. Constructed from lightweight production materials, it combines convincing period styling with the safety and functionality required for large-scale action scenes involving numerous performers.

The halberd has been expertly hand-finished with realistic metallic tones, ageing and battle distressing, giving it the appearance of a weapon that has seen prolonged combat. These carefully applied surface treatments reflect the production’s broader commitment to creating a grounded and physically believable historical world, with practical costumes, armour, weapons and sets forming an important part of the film’s visual identity.

Assassin’s Creed follows Callum Lynch, played by Michael Fassbender, who is connected through the Animus to the memories of his ancestor Aguilar de Nerha, an Assassin operating in Spain in 1492. The film moves between the modern-day struggle between the Assassins and Templars and large-scale historical sequences depicting the centuries-old conflict at the heart of Ubisoft’s celebrated video game franchise.

Director Justin Kurzel placed considerable emphasis on practical filmmaking, incorporating real stunt performers, elaborate fight choreography, physical sets and purpose-built weaponry wherever possible. This approach helped translate the distinctive aesthetic of the games into a tangible cinematic environment, making surviving production-made weapons particularly evocative pieces of the film’s creation.

For collectors, this halberd offers an appealing crossover between movie memorabilia, historical weapon design and one of the most recognisable franchises in modern gaming. Unlike commercially produced replicas, it was manufactured specifically as part of the feature-film production and therefore represents an authentic physical component of the world created for Assassin’s Creed.

Its substantial proportions, distinctive silhouette and convincing battle-worn finish give the piece exceptional display presence, while its association with the film’s medieval combat sequences makes it an especially attractive acquisition for collectors of original movie props, video game adaptations and production armoury.

An exceptional original production prop from Assassin’s Creed with outstanding visual impact and strong collector appeal.
