Folks,
I'm looking for two each of the Hanwei Court and Washington Fencing Swords, model numbers SH2324 and SH2325 respectively. They're for a fencing group and will see use, so they don't have to be in perfect condition. While surface scratches and the like are not important, they do have to be in solid and usable shape. I will consider weapons with blades that have been shortened, but the blades cannot be shorter than 29".
I'm afraid that price is an object; I'm hoping to get these weapons at around $150 each before shipping. I am willing to consider higher costs, but as I'm acting as an agent for the fencing group I have to abide by their budget and cannot promise I'll buy anything that's more expensive. Also, as I'm acting for a group--i.e., things are being done by committee--I probably won't be able to respond with lightning speed to any offers that may come. Please don't be distressed if I take a couple of days to reply.
I am not interested in the older sharp models, the SH1214 and SH1215. Besides being sharp, their blades are too heavy and they do not handle correctly for proper smallsword play.
I appreciate any help that you can offer me. You may reach me via PM on the forum.
Thank you.
Best,
Mark Millman
