Ladies and Gentlemen,

I was just wondering if anyone has one of these or has handled one? I am reasonably sure that they are discontinued but I found a couple that are available in Australia and I was just wondering if they are worth it? I've always wanted a good quality Schiavona but have never been able to find one.

Any advice is appreciated

hey, i still have mine, which I antiqued out some time ago. If you can pull up the old forum, I posted a review there.

The Windlass Schiavona isn't a lively handling sword. The blade is very stiff and a bit tip heavy even with the basket hilt.

I got mine because I wanted a Schiavona represented in my collection and as a companion to my mortuary's.

There is also a review on myArmoury that Bill Grandy did a long time ago.

right now Del-Tin or Armour Class make only repro / semi-custom's of this style.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

eskiso: someone can help me to identify a sword and its origin, to see its commercial value please. 2346
