Another medieval sword

Thanks, Rick. Indeed, comments need to be limited to the merits/qualities (or lack of them) of the sword. Let people draw what conclusions they would about the seller (or just limit that discussion to PM or e-mail).

About the rivers in Europe - better than 2,000 years of martial history along rivers such such as the Danube, Thames, Loire, Seine, etc., I'm sure has lead to a lot of hardware falling in the rivers. The reason why stuff gets pullout of the Thames and Danube (and probably others) is that they regularly dredge the shipping channels.

So stuff turning up in rivers, per se, isn't so outrageous. Based on people's comments, this particular sword seems to have "issues," though.
