Hello Dave,

agree with Kai! Funnily enough I've handled this repro some time ago since this "sword" was sold from Germany with fair description to this unreliable seller in the States where I see it again.
Sadly I have to tell you that you will be very disappointed when you hold it in your hands, the blade is very thin and all is worked cheap. Sorry Dave.

Regards,
Detlef

Happily, I can report that I am returning this sword for a full refund (thank you ePray). The sword that arrived was not even the one depicted by the pictures -- worse!!!
