Shane Allee offered this sword, made using an Albion/Ollin Sword Design blade, back in 2012. He seems to have gone inactive since then, but you can see his original post about it here: http://myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?p=256537
It's never really been used since then. No rust or patination that I can see. Condition is perfect. Leather on the grip is perfectly tight. The metal hilt furniture is blackened, and the half-wire wrap appears to be steel, although it takes on a brassy note to my eyes at times, so I can't be sure about that.
The only imperfection I ever noticed is the crossguard appears to be very slightly canted in the plane of the blade - that is to say, one end is pointed slightly forward towards the blade's tip, and the other slightly back towards the pommel. I'm not sure I managed to capture it in the photos, which goes to show how minor it is. To me it just makes the sword look a little more authentic than the perfectly-symmetrical Albions and such.
I would like $700 for this piece. $650 if you want to use a non-PayPal method, and $600 for local pickup with cash.
