I purchased this sword with the peened assembly and its just been sitting in the corner for the last few months. I recently decided to engage on a pair of custom sword commissions, so I need to reallocate resources. Its a nice sword, scabbard and suspension combination. Its in like new condition and it needs a new home. Antiqued brown finish.

Buying it today from VA is going to run $556 plus shipping (for me that was $25) and you get to wait for the sword to be ready (figure a ballpark cost of $581).
For $501 I'll send this one to you immediately and I will cover the cost of shipping in the US.
