Arrived today and the tip pierced the box in three places and the hilt was chipped. Found the chips in the packing material

Bummer. They probably will glue back on and show very little.

We all know these things and make allowances. But when a seller can't even be bothered to use suitable or adequate packaging, especially on a fragile or dangerous item! Thats absolutely not freaking on! If that had been posted internationally and had pierced the box, the buyer would probobly have lost it. If I were you, I'd be absolutely furious Lew. |

I had this once with an old spearhead that came in with a damaged (bend) point. Fortunately a friend was able to restore that one, because it is such a downer on a purchase. ![]() Hope the chips will glue on nicely. All the best Willem |
