I ordered a Windlass German Bastard Sword, like the one reviewed on sbg, about a month or so ago from reliks.com. The website said that it was in stock when I ordered, but then they emailed me saying it was back ordered after a week or so. Then after a little bit, they told me the sword was discontinued. Now, I'm not here to bash reliks.com or anything, I haven't ordered anything else from them, so I can't judge their customer service, and their site changed to say that it was discontinued about when they told me it was. I just wanted to give people a heads up that the sword is gone. Oh, and maybe so the review for it could be updated or something.
And I really wanted that sword too, lol. Oh, and sorry if someone has said this already. I tried searching German Bastard Sword in this forum but nothing came up.

I knew it! What the heck is wrong with Windlass? Do they HATE having good swords?

Yup... another good Windlass bit the dust. I was at MRL's warehouse awhile ago... the Windlass German Bastard sword having been discontinued for awhile... and they had one left there on the show room floor, but it was a bit different looking then the ones I had seen. It had a gun metal gray finish rather then a black finish, it was very attractive. I thought about picking it up just for that alone. Windlass sure does like to discontinue their good swords.

My bad, I was thinking of the 15th C Longsword. I'll see what I can do to find it for you, though. I just KNOW that I've seen it recently on a reputable site... -Slayer

There is always this website that sell it along with other discontinued Windlass: www.rautaportti.fi/aseet/miekat/German...ksword.htm Of course, you must really want it to shop there because...well, it's expensive... Also, I'm sure some will pop up on the second hand market soon... p.s.: that spam/weird post from dddyyyy -whatever- is weird...

The spammer has been taken care of. IMR, that is a good looking sword - too bad it's gone, I wouldn't have minded it myself either.

ugh, that was one of the few medieval swords that i really wanted (and below $300, lol). so where is this windlass rep? so bugged out that i paid for one and thought i was gonna get it, then i find out its discontinued (i did get my money back but still...). its soooo dang purty too. i would hunt one down, but i bet itd be way more expensive now. *sigh* really should have gotten that summer job, lol.

I think the Windlass rep made an appearance in this thread just recently.
