I was wanting to get Windlass' Effigy sword from Kult of Athena, although today I realized Museum replicas ltd has it on closeout for $10 less. I like Kult of Athena better than M.R.L., although Kult of Athena doesn't appear to have this in stock at the moment. Does MRL have good shipping/customer service, or should I order if From Kult of Athena anyways do you think?

MRL has great service... they pack their items more safely then ANYONE I have ever gotten a sword from... I've order from MRL 3, maybe more times... and each time the sword was encased in a fortress of cardboard and bubblewrap, there was going to be no damage to the weapon. ;D

You never know, KoA would probably match the price. Then again, if they don't have it in stock....

Could come down to shipping cost. I find that MRL is a little higher than KOA.
I used both and can recommend them equally to you.
Hope this helps.

OK, thanks, I suppose I'll go with MRL. (Although I was wondering, can you order from MRL using their phone number?)

Last week that was a Deal of the Day at MRL so you would have saved another $25 bucks or so. It has been a featured Deal of the Day at least 3 times in the past 6 monthes although past history is no guarentee for the future.
If you're not in an immediate need you might hold off and check their Deal of the Day everyday except Sat and Sunday as Friday's remains through the weekend.
Both KOA and MRL have an excellent reputation for customer service and stand behind their products. However, if you have the blade sharpened they are not returnable, this holds true for both vendors.

I hadn't thought of that, forgot about that! I don't think I'm going to order it sharpened though. MRL has quite a few good deals now, normally they're more expensive than KOA, although most of their closeout swords cost quite a bit less than what they would at KOA. Is windlass discontinuing all their swords or something?

I believe that KOA is still offering free shipping for orders over $100.

I only deal with MRL directly on Deal of the Day or closeout stuff. The rest of the time, KoA gets my loyalty.

Is windlass discontinuing all their swords or something? No, I believe they predetermine how many of each type they will make. This ultimately makes every one a limited edition. They put the slow sellers up as Deals of the Day or Last Chance when they are down to a certain number. They then introduce new models keeping their line fresh and interest up.

If you are still considering theEffigy sword, it's back as MRL's Deal of the Day. Sorry for the short notice but I just got home. You should be able to order up until about 10 am tomarrow. That's when they normally change their Deal of The Day/. www.museumreplicas.com/p-215-effigy-sword.aspx
