I was afraid they'd not be able to post it reasonably, had a quote from another auction place there a few monts ago that was outrageous. They did it for a little less than what others charged me here on the big island

. When I called to pay the piper, They initially asked if I was on the island. I laughed and told them no, and I wasn't going to swim that far either (they do have a ferry). they then added in the P&P. The sword must have come air mail. Isle of Mann has a different Govt. setup than the rest of the UK, they do everything by what I think of as Vermont Town Meetings. A holdover from viking era, It's a scandawegian 'Thing'. Even their Manx cats are weird, the are born tail-less. Weird stuff pops up in weird places around here in the British Isles...

The 'Thing' is interesting: https://youtu.be/H3JqzTqcIsg

Manx Cat - go from completely tail-less to very short tails. Stubby to half tailed ones are healthier.
