This listing is marked SOLD and is no longer available
For sale: A forged two-handed-sword in the style of the early 16th century made by Vladimir Cervenka in the Czech Republic. It's in brand-new, mint, just-out-of-the box condition. It's really a beautiful sword, but there's just no room for it in the house due to a few other new purchases to is has to go. Custom parrying hooks (modeled after those on Vladimir's two-handed flamberge) and leather covered ricasso. Grip is Vladimir's signature braided wire over black beeswax.
These swords are hard to come by given the cost of shipping these massive things to the US. Also, this was commissioned back when Vladimir only had a six-month waiting list. I think he's at about two years now, so if you want instant gratification this may be your sword!
Specifications:
Total length 5'6" (1725mm)
Blade length: 4' (1230mm)
Blade width: 2" (50mm)
Quillon width: 15.5" (395mm)
Handle length: 15.75" (400mm)
Weight: 7.7 lbs (3500g)
Si-Cr steel hardened to 50-52 HRC
Blade is not rebated and can be sharpened for cutting.
Given the costs associated with importing this sword, I think $600 is a more than fair price. Buyer (continental US only, please) pays shipping. I can arrange local pickup or delivery of this sword in the San Francisco or Monterey Bay Areas. Price is open to negotiation via PM or e-mail (andrewtf at foxarts dot com).
Edited to add: Payment can be via PayPal, cashier's check, money order. If using PayPal 3% will be added to the price to cover associated fees.
