I saw it mentioned on another forum, and the idea of an antique sabers for around the $200-$400 mark seemed almost too good to be true.

Any experiences with this website? Anything you know is welcome!

Yep it's trustworthy. Matt has great prices and I've dealt with him in the past. Matt Easton also runs the Schola Gladiatoria HEMA group.

I'd recommend snatching up that tulwar for 110£'s. As I think that's best deal he currently has. Of course those who collect military swords might see other as good deals in there.

Of course take note that low priced items are more than likely not in mint condition. But Matt is honest about the condition of the items, and you can ask more info from him about the items.

Check the GBP to USD exchange rate. Also you may find postage and handling is steep from the UK. Easton is a very straight up sowrdsman.

:roll:

Yes I'm an ole codger. And gettin more than a little silly in the process.

But I think I got the context right in this case. The subject was Matt Easton's antiques sales. Point of the discussion. So "this place" was reserved to the only one refered to in the thread.

If you were reffering to sumthin else; I quote Gilda Radner, "Oh Never Mind...." :mrgreen:

He also convinced an Eastern European swordsmith (Rengeryi?) to produce a gymnasium saber.

I've paid anywhere from $40-135 depending on the point of shipment and charges. (France is worse; if that's any consolation.)
