interesting news indeed Brian.....could be a while before it hits the pages of the catalog.

I'm still going to opt for the D-T 5155.....


cheers,

Bill

place the order for the D-T 5155 yesterday....should have it mid-next week. Which will be good because I have a presentation
to do for a group of 3rd, 4th & 5th graders on swords and their history this Friday and will be a grand addition to the others I'll be taking to talk about.

Very chuffed about this sword.....my only sword purchase for a good while so wanted to make it a good one.



cheers,

Bill

A very nice sword in all its incarnations, but I read somewhere years ago that the original museum piece is actually a 19th century fake...?

That's the theory:

Kult of Athena has one pre-owned GBS that I think is Windlass/DT GBS if anyone is interested. http://www.kultofathena.com/product~item~PODT...+Sword.htm
