As the topic says, I'll post pictures tomorrow, but I'll do my best to describe the sword now...

Limited Edition Angus Trim/Christian Fletcher 'Sword of the Ranger'; purchased in 2002.

45.5" overall,
36" blade,
~2.75 pounds
'Standard' green leather for the grip

This sword has been my pride and joy for the last three years, and it's held up to everything from pool noodles to saplings, and it's gotten a lot of use. After doing my best to clean it up today, it's still got some vague stains and other discolorations that I can likely sand the rest of the way out before shipping, as well as a few rough spots on the edge, near the tip. Oh, and the end of the pommel nut isn't in the greatest shape aesthetically (stupid vice-grips...grrr).

This sword, even though it isn't quite as cut-you-when-you-try-to-clean-it sharp as it was originally, cuts like a beast; bottles, pool noodles, small trees, and so on. For an unusually big and strong type like myself, it's a hefty chopper in one hand, and like a bolt of lightning in two. Further, it looks a lot nicer than the basic AT1415.

Ultimately, this sword is going to need to be sent back to Gus for a resharpening some time soon, but it's still great (and hasn't really changed since I got it when it comes to heavy targets).

The only reason I'm selling it is that I've changed tastes a bit since I got it, and I'm looking to fund a somewhat higher-end, heavier, somewhat longer longsword.

My asking price is $750, shipped, in the continental US, and I'm not terribly keen on shipping internationally. This price is definately negotiable, and I'm willing to hear people out on various offers.

I'll be happy to answer questions here in the thread, but also feel free to send your questions/offers to Galethorn at Gmail dot com.

Again, pictures coming tomorrow, weather permitting. Oh, and feel free to request particular picutes (so far, I'm planning on some close-ups of the hilt, some full-length shots, at least one of the tip, and one with something to compare the color of the grip to).

EDIT: My preferred method of shipping is USPS, but I'm pretty sure I can also do Fedex and UPS. I'll dissassemble the sword for shipping and include a set of vicegrips with the teeth ground off for putting it back together/taking it apart again for maintainence.

Sorry, it's been so long since I had anything to post in here that I forgot the rules.

---

D'oh! I knew I forgot something yesterday!

Here are the pictures; if anybody wants a closeup of something specific, I've got the digital camera on hand, and, lighting permitting, I can get a shot or two of said specific feature.

Hey everybody; just as an FYI, I'm gonna be away this friday, saturday, and most of sunday.

Oh, and a price drop to $725; feel free to email me, and I'll do my best to reply on sunday, or at worst monday, depending on how the traffic is.

BUMP

I'm back from the brown, inhospitable desert that is eastern Washington...it was only my wits, sunscreen, and hat that kept me from being burnt to a crisp.

Anyway, the sword is still for sale, and for an extra $25, I'll have the sword make a stop at Gus' shop to have the blade retouched.

So, $725 total, as-is, or $750 if you want the blade's edge retouched by Gus on the way to you.

Oh, and I'd be willing to hear other offers (including trades), but I'd prefer money. So, go ahead and make your best offer if you're not looking to part with that much cash right now, and just happen to have something sharp/pointy,

BUMP

Price drop to $675 'as-is', $700 if it stops by Gus for a resharpening.

Another bump and price drop;

$650 as-is, $675 if you want Gus to resharpen it...or best offer.

---

Sale pending...

Thanks for looking, everyone!
