If you Private Message me you will get no response as I do not regularly log in. No trades, however if you have a Atrim or Tinker of Typology 13-17 you are looking to get rid of I'd probably give a pretty good price drop if you want to throw that in. US sales only and check or money order is acceptable as payment.
First blade for sale is a KC Lund Viking Shortsword. The swordsmith is KC Lund and the blade is pattern welded L6 steel with an exquisite pattern that the pics fails to capture. The blade measures 23 1/2 inches and 2 inches wide at the base. The typology looks to me to be most similar to the Oakeshott Type XIV. I am unsure of the wood of the hilt however it seems to be a decent quality hardwood. The crossguard is latten and matches the hilt in design. The pommel is latten with silver wire and the carving is quite elaborate and beautiful. It would make a good light cutter and an excellent wall hanger or dress sword. It is however a bit thin in cross-section for heavy cutting and I wouldn't risk the blade.
Asking price is $2000, shipping included. If you're interested in the blade it is a good deal as about $1600 less than I paid for it. Attachment: 2.66 KB

I'm selling my Howard Clark wakizashi blade. It is made of 1086 steel and when I bought the blade Howard Clark's wife told me that when he was so proud of the blade that he came sprinting into the room to show her. It has a very beautiful sheen to it in the light that I never attempted to capture with my poor camera and photgraphy skills. Howard Clark thought it will be truly impressive when it is fully polished and I agree with him. The blade portion measures 18 inches with a copper habaki and a four inch tang not counting habaki length. It is in basic binsui polish and unmounted.
Asking price is $1300 with shipping included, but US sales only. Also a good price and 1100 less than I payed for it.
Pics are rough and I might be willing to unwrap the blade, but only if someone is seriously thinking of purchase as it is more hassle in shipping and obviously I would have to be more careful with handling and storage. Attachment: 58 KB

Next item is a Gallic H Roman Helm by Dean Cunningham. It will fit a large head of 23 to 25 inches. Liner not included, but I'll throw in a felted wool removable liner with purchase. Cheekpieces are lined in deerskin, are a passable rough job by me, and if you don't like it the lining should be easy to remove and replace.
Pics are of the exact similar helm owned by a fellow Legion XX member except mine has no crest. If he doesn't like me posting a pic of his helm I'll buy him a beer, but it saves me time and it is pretty much a twin.
