sword
Hey I don't know if this would interest anyone but I just ran across it on the bay.

Depends on what you are looking for. I am interested in swords but many on ebay seem to be the cheaply made imitations from the far east ( I suspect this is one of those).
Originals are simply in far too short of supply, and there is not much middle ground. Anyone know of a well made quality reproduction?
In thinking on this, this seems to be the case with sgian dubhs as well. Im interested to see if anyone knows of a decent dirk/sword source of a quality reproduction piece.

Yeah, I know this has to be a cheap one... I saw the price and thought that some folks would be interested for ren fairs and reinactments. You should check out Caulfields work on stag dirks and sgian dubhs. he is on here you can look him up.

Scottish swords by Scottish swordsmiths! They're excellent repros and won't break the bank....

The Sword is DEFINATELY a a low end "made in India" sword.
As to reproductions, I would recommend These 2
1. Cold Steel - (you can get these for around $200.00 & they are good quality

2. Armour Class - ( these run around $1,000.00 USD, BUT are GREAT )

BTW, I own Swords from both of these makers

I have a nice Celtic short sword, and a Richard the Lionheart replica sword

http://www.armor.com/ makes amazing weapons. They're at my local Renn Faire, and I can attest to their quality. Unfortunately, a basket hilt might have to be custom ordered from them.

awhile back I collected a list of various sword-sellers (reproductions and fantasy).
If interested take a look: weapon market list
If you have the cash . . .
