    Ordering A Basket Hilt Sword

    Monday I will be calling London to order a basket hilt sword -- would anyone else be interesting in obtaining one? I'm guessing the price will be something in the region of $1200-1400.

    I bought a carbon steel basket-hilt for $200 a few years ago. If you have a webby for this company, I'm curious.

    Google Sussex Swords. It's all of my best mates from my days with Wilkinson Sword. They can't use the name, but the quality and craftsmanship remains the same. My thought was that if enough of us ordered swords we might be able to negotiate a discount.

    I could be seriously in on this. But, like JRB said, I don't see the basket-hilt on display on their webby; although, I don't doubt the availability. Do you see any pics that I missed?

    Those are some very nice examples, and don't appear to be simply "movie stunt blades." Wish I could go in with you on one for myself, but too many other obligations at this time.

    I'v been through the website and don't see their entire product line. I'll know more on Monday.
