A little treat for fellow 'bladies' here in the UK
Hello, just testing the water to see if there's any interest as summers here I thought I may divert some time & money on another interest [my Harley].
Swords for your consideration are all only a few months freshly purchased, never cut with, just cherished & displayed in the study.
Firstly:
Dark Sword Armoury Norman [1307S] ~ With a DSA Forge Sharpened Blade along with the Sword Belt Upgrade £270
Dark Sword Armoury: Norman Dagger [1803] again, With the DSA Forge Sharpened Blade £110
Next, 2 from the Valiant Armoury Signature Series.
A Hedemark Viking Sword £270
Last but not least, one of the newest lines from V-A, a gorgeous "Malatesta" £315
PayPal's good [+3%] + shipping.. Please feel free to PM me questions, offers are respectfully invited & seriously considered, always glad to help or assist, but definitely no trades thank you.

If your close to mid Cornwall, your most welcome to even have a look before buying :idea: [and of course, save on shipping ;) ]

just a friendly bump & reminder the above prices are far from set in concrete, just pm if interested and/or have a figure in mind :D
kindest regards
Bill

The VA Signature Series Hedemark now has a new good home & custodian :)

Although the Hedemark is firmly sold, the VA Signature 'Malatesta' along with both the D-S Norman sword & Dagger (either together or separately] are still available.

As a guide, postage by Parcel post to the UK mainland [including insurance] is approx £9.00.
Thank you again for reading & interest :)
kindest regards, Bill

New week, lets have a new price :D

Dark Sword Armoury Norman [1307S] ~ With a DSA Forge Sharpened Blade along with the Sword Belt Upgrade down to £265
Dark Sword Armoury: Norman Dagger [1803] again, With the DSA Forge Sharpened Blade likewise down to £105
The gorgeous Valiant Armoury Signature Series "Malatesta" cut down to £310.
I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that when this first batch of the Malatesta have sold, there could be a considerable hiatus before they may be available again ;)

thank you again for taking the time to browse and interest
kind regards
Bill

These Dark Sword Armoury blades are the toughest, hardiest there is anywhere near their price. These swords [including the VA Malatesta] are being offered at LESS than the basic $ exchange, if that's not a good enough saving, I have paid all the shipping, + the VAT / excise duty which alone is another 22% + on top of that again! This really is a bargain someone in the UK is going to be pleased they didn't miss. ;)

One more price drop before I let these ride or stay. With the sale of the VA Hedemark, I now have the tools I wanted & the Harley is going fine :cool:]

Dark Sword Armoury Norman With DSA Forge Sharpened Blade & Sword Belt Upgrade £260
Dark Sword Armoury: Norman Dagger With DSA Forge Sharpened Blade £100
Valiant Armoury Signature Series "Malatesta" [one of the newest lines from V-A] £300.

If quick, will let the Norman sword & dagger go as a combined deal for £350...

kindest regards
Bill

I had a request for a picture of the 'Normans', afraid I'm worse than rubbish at taking pictures, certainly don't do this sword & dagger justice. They're available as a pair at a 'deal' price, or either blade individually.
As mentioned, basically, I've taken care of [absorbed] all the import & VAT costs, which if anyone has imported in to the UK will know, is not an insignificant amount of money These are 'peened' giving not only a tradition look, but added strength.
Anything else I can help or assist with, even work through a price, please feel free to pm me. ;)






kindest regards

The Valiant Armoury Signature Series "Malatesta" is now SOLD

To wind up my Western swords, will let the Norman sword & dagger go as a combined deal for £350
Thank you again for kindly taking the time to browse...
kindest wishes, Bill

I'm puzzled and somewhat perplexed my prices on these DSA Norman's are not attracting keener interest :confused: From personal experience, asking prices are much lower than it's possible to import these one's self. I'm also surprised there has been few 'offers'.
DSA swords are renown for their strength & cutting if that's your passion. In their class they are untouchable. :cool:

OK. for the Norman sword on it's own I'll drop to £250 + postage [approx £10] + PayPal % fees
For the Norman Dagger, £100 inclusive!
For the Norman sword and dagger as a package, £350 and I'll absorb 50% of postage & PayPal % fees. That's over £30 drop on the sword alone.

Someone please buy these before I make the offers so complex I'll end up confusing myself :D
kindest regards
Bill

A bump for a bargain pair [or individually]!
Excellently executed, 'peened' giving a tradition look, also makes these superbly strong, just pm, will be pleased to help & assist ;) I'm motivated to sell, but sorry, no trades.
Thank you for your time & browsing, Bill

A friendly bump for a 2 Western pieces that are here in the UK, with all duty & VAT paid. All offers are warmly invited, just pm, will be pleased to help & assist.
kind wishes Bill

A friendly bump :-) & priced to sell at £350 for the DSA Sword & Dagger inclusive of all taxes, duty, PayPal fees & the postage to your mainland UK address! That really is a massive loss out of my pocket, equally, it's a price that will not be repeated probably by anyone again :confused:

---

A gentle bump on a hot & humid weekend in the UK :D
offers warmly invited
Kind wishes, Bill

---

Bump with price reduction to £348 for both all inclusive to UK mainland address. Will sell Dagger & Sword separately if requested ;)

---

Bump for rare opportunity [certainly in the UK & at this price] to acquire these legendary tough DSA Norman Sword and/or Dagger. Offers?

---

The DSA Norman Dagger has now been SOLD & on it's way to a good home :)

The DSA Norman Sword is at present still available:
£240 fully inclusive of shipping, packing & PayPal fees to UK mainland address.
This Sword has the sharpened blade & Scabbard & Interlaced Sword Belt upgrade.

I've added some better pictures below, it's been mounted on the wall since I imported it into the UK at the beginning of 2010.
On close inspection, there are some very minor longitudinal marks, these are either due to the original sharpening process of from the scaboard. Nothing really untoward [almost inevitable] I'm just nit-picking :\ otherwise is pristine..

Below are a few details taken from Eyal's site:
