As much as it pains me to do so, I am placing my custom "fantasy" Viking sword by Al Massey up for sale.
The stats for the blade are as follows:

Overall length: 42 1/8”
Blade Length: 30”
Hilt Length: 10 ½”
Blade Width (at cross): 2”
Blade Width (1" from tip): ¾”
Weight: 2lbs. 15 oz.

The sword is very strong and responsive and feels lively in the hand. The finish is typical of Al’s work and shows it’s hand forged lineage. As I was looking for a “period” type finish (it’s Viking inspired, after all lol) I find it totally appropriate. The Viking runes for ‘Thor’ and ‘Tyr’ are etched on either side of the blade in the fullers near the cross. The cross and pommel are of Damascus. The sword is exactly as I received it. The grip is covered in black leather and is of a rectangular section. There is a small area of the leather near the lower ferrule that is slightly puckered as I received it that way. There is a black leather “travel” sheath for protection of the blade, also made by Al but I would not recommend it for carry. During the design phase I expressed to Al that I was trained originally in JSA and our final product handles very much like a katana. I am asking $500 (money order, cashiers check, or PayPal) for the sword and wanted to offer it on the forum before trying to auction it. All in all, a very workmanlike weapon that I have enjoyed owning. I only have a few pics of low quality at the moment but I hope to have better ones this weekend. Thanks for looking!

Hmmm.....Would anyone be interested in a possible comparable trade? I certainly would would like to see it go to someone where it fits their current collecting genre.

Thanks!
