Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

I received an email from the prop master for a film currently in production and he had a few questions for me.

 One question I thought I could get some help with is the question of a plastic sword.

The actors in the film have been having trouble with the variety of aluminum, metal, and wooden swords they are using. (He explained a little bit to me about how they use the various swords for different scenes like close ups etc.  It was pretty interesting)

 Anyhoo, he asked if I knew of any quality plastic swords that would look good on film yet still be durable enough for light combat use while not being too bruise inducing.

I don’t have any particular sugggestions for him but I thought some of you might.

 So, just comment if you have any suggestions on swords that look good, are reasonably durable, yet not too bruise inducing! I appreciate the help!

Thanks!
