mr who? Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I've got a sword I'm looking to sell . Not claiming to be an expert here so no idea if it's a "Hand and a half" Sword . What I can tell you is that it is NOT a display piece or wallhanger . Weighing in at 5KG (Yeah KGs!) It's a beast of a thing . Feels really well designed and built . And with the counter weight surprisingly easy to use , even to a layman like me . The chap who designed and made it was heavily involved in a "Living history" reinactment group , and the sword has been used in those types of battles , so the edges are a little beaten up , but I personally feel it just adds to the overall look of the sword . Can also include a spiked ball mace if you friend in interested? Asking just £150 , But would also consider a swop for something interesting . Further info and photos on request . All the best fellas . Andy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 If you are looking for a weapon for HEMA use Leon Paul sell a long sword I believe, not cheap though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) A 5kg sword is a wall hanger! Far too heavy to be realistic. Edited March 1, 2017 by CaptainBeaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 For HEMA use, try Albion, or Hanwei (Paul Chen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
