    Planet of the Apes Sword ID ?

    About a year ago or so, I found a few of the POTA Generals Swords here in a bag of crap I had laying around. Heres a pic of one of them:



    I had a few of these and sold them all. However in the process of searching thru stuff here, I found these 2 similar swords:



    These are identical in size to the silver ones like I sold, but the color is more of a gray and I think the tip is a little bit more blunt. There is a slight color difference even between these 2. So does anyone know what these are? Are they a variation of the Generals sword.....like maybe a later issue.....or are they to a different set? Are they some type of knock-off? I'm pretty sure they are not a repro item because all of the stuff I get is aquired in vintage toy lots. Most times it is from original owners or flipped indirectly thru estate buyers, so I feel safe in assuming they are actual vintage items. I've been curious about them so thought I would ask here. Thanks for any help.

    Most of the repro general swords I have seen have bubbles in them from casting. The lion rock military figures also used the general sword, I believe. Not sure about a color variation, but the lion rock collectors could chime in on that.

      Thats great info thanks! I had wondered if there was any other figures issued with a sword like this.
