I aquired this piece a couple weeks ago. There is nothing wrong with it, however, I am trying to put some beans back for a bastard sword more in tune with my studies of Fiore with the Schola St. George.
This is an earlier model Del Tin that was distributed through Museum Replicas between 1992 and 1993. It was manufactured on a custom level for a US customer. This piece was made when Del Tin was still using Krupps, so its a wonderfully solid sword, unique to alot of other DTs currently out there.
The pictures do not do this piece justice. The guard and pommel have a nice grey silver patina and the blade is nice and clean with no blemishes, rust, or pitting. The wire grip is nice and tight with no spaces or movement. There are some very small dings on the cross from being stored with other swords, but no other issues. You will love this unique Type X.
Here are the specs:
