This listing is marked SOLD and is no longer available
I have for sale a sword crafted by Vladimir Cervenka, the Czech Republic's leading swordsmith (with a two year waiting list for any new orders). 14-15th centuries, western and middle European in style, tempered Si-Cr steel, 51 HRC.
Wire wrapped hilt and the blade has a shallow fuller. Total length: 1190 mm; Blade length: 950 mm; Blade width: 52 mm
The edge is 1mm blunt so the sword is suitable for longsword fencing.
The scabbard is made of poplar, felt lined, covered in 3oz black leather and has a polished steel tip guard. No belt or attachments though.

Sword received !
The transaction went very smoothly, and Mr. Eglinton sent me the sword very quickly. I received it yesterday and both the sword and the scabbard are really nice pieces. Can't wait to fence with it.
All my thanks to Mr. Eglinton and myArmoury forum by the way.

Fence with it?!!! IMHO that sword is too nice to get nicked and banged up fencing with it! ;-) Besides the tip is bit sharp for fencing with friends.

Well, time will tell. Having seen it first hand, the sword seems proper for some light fencing. The point control is great so the pseudo-sharp tip should not be a problem.
