No that's fantasy, a nice fantasy, I think it's cool, but to be historically accurate, Solomon's sword would be a sickle sword. The sword in your pic, looks like a medieval sword. Still, like I said, it is very cool, I'd dig having one of those.
Nuke the arabs till they glow, then shoot them in the dark.

The only Sickle swords I can find are Deepeeka Khopesh which are Egyptian and they are very hard to find. Something like this?

Yes, something like that. But do research, find the historical era of King Solomon and research the weapons of the age if you'd like, google is fantastic. ;  )

But, I really like the sword in your post! Hey, we're not archeologists, we're just people, get the sword that you like and enjoy it, it think it's cool!

I have one of those; my husband bought it for me 4 years ago. I since found it much cheaper, online at http://www.budk.com

The image on it, supposedly of Shlomo haMelech, you can tell is designed after a medieval woodcut drawing; hence, its not authentic, but it IS pretty cool!

I read a book about Joshua and how he conquered Canaan.  The sword he had was depicted as one of these.

"The difference between a Jewish liberal and a Jewish conservative is that when a Jewish liberal walks out of the Holocaust Museum, he feels, "This shows why we need to have more tolerance and multiculturalism." The Jewish conservative feels, "We should have killed a lot more Nazis, and sooner."" - Philip Klein
