I've finally come to accept that I'm just too short for a rapier of this length (and that I need to "downsize" to one the length of A&A's German rapier).
The dimensions of this Gustav Vasa are consistent with those reported on A&A's website:
http://www.arms-n-armor.com/rapier111.html
It lists for US$740 + $36 s/h + $85 scabbard = $861.
I'm looking for $600, s/h ConUS and scabbard included, if by Paypal, or $580 if check or MO (not so much to offset the Paypal fee, but simply because cash is more useful than Paypal/Ebay credit).
Please email or PM if interested. Thanks! ruel
