Hahah!!!! Wow! time for me to brush up on my modern repros
 They got the handle and guard very close to originals. It went for about $600 and it was fought over by 10 different people. Thanks Iain! |

The price indicates at least to me that most people saw it for what it was. I seem to recall another going for much higher a year or so ago.  Makes you wonder what will happen in a few decades when some of the very good Medieval replicas available today start turning up on eBay with a bit more age and patina to them... |

If you look at the finished pieces from the same seller, several of those were sold recently for about the same price. Same pics were used for all of them.
I contacted the seller with a question, and he told me that the handle was " imitation ivory", and that it was "not sharpened, but not dull either. You ( meaning, -"I") could do some damage with it". If one is still pining for it, just wait a bit: there will be more:-) |
