    Is this what you are looking for?

    http://www.kultofathena.com/product....Hilt+Backsword

    It shows as in stock, and yes I have dealt with them on several occasions. They provide good service and a reasonable price.

    Tomak,

    I think Oberu is looking for the antiqued version of the Hawei broadsword and backsword (the finish of the hilt and scabbard are different than the standard ones). Unfortunately Hanwei discontinued them. This is what the backsword looks like.





    It is a fine sword. I have to say I think Steve's suggestion of a sword forum (or maybe eBay) might be more successful as I have seldom seen anyone on XMTS selling a nice sword.

    Good Luck with your search Oberu!

    Cheers

    Jamie

    AHHHHH...I missed the "antiqued" reference in his request. The site I posted has both the broadsword and backsword, but does not have the antiqued version. Might be still worth contacting them and see if they have one lying around.

    I like Kult of Athena, my sword was purchased from them a few years back. Good service.

    Cheers

    You might try these...

    A quick Google search produced these... I've not dealt with either vendor, so caveat emptor.
