Ebay item# 110342955070
Here is a great buy from Noble Armory for anyone who would like to have fun bashing swords around with their kids. These swords are tough, the owner says they are good tempered aluminum. They also make a super neat ringing sound when striking them together. They have a thick peened over tang. The blade is 18" long, 1 3/4" wide, and overall length is two feet. I already bought some. One for my nephew, one for my 3 year old girl, and one for my one year old boy.
For perspective I added a photo. The boy holding the sword is 5'6" and 14 years old.
May God grant us the wisdom to discover the right, the strength to choose it, and the will to make it endure. - First Knight

I thought someone should post a pic of sword from the above link so that we'll have it when the link dies out.

Not an eBay find... does Craigslist count? I can't believe he was going to sell it to anyone that rang his doorbell with $125 in their hand.

It's an Austrian Masterpiece made by Johann Schmidberger back in the 80's. They were sold in the US by Museum Replicas for a few years but Hank had to drop it as they were having a hard time getting them. Originally price was $350 if I remember right. I have no idea what they are worth now but they are hard to find and as far as I know the pictures I posted are the only Austrian Masterpiece pictures on the IntarWeb. Here is a link to Johann's site. http://www.schmiede-schmidberger.at/schmidberger/chronik.htm
