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.

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
Bill

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:

All our swords are hand forged, combat ready and properly tempered to a Rockwell of 53, and can either be ordered blunt, for stage and reenactment combat , or Sharpened for cutting purposes.

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'.
