Recently I have been interested in polish and muscovite warfare and I have been wondering ever since about good quality eastern sabers, the problem is that they proved being really hard to find. The closest things I have found have been the following: www.polishhussarsupply.com/Sabers.htmlfabri-armorum.com/english/foto.php?big=savle-polska2.jpgWhich is very underwhelming, I have found barely any references to hussarsupplies other than a video made by skallagrim (and he had a poor opinion on it) and fabri armorum swords have a reputation of being overweight. Any other ideas? I will be very thankful

I was gonna say that! I have a custom saber from Viktor, bought secondhand - there's a review on myArmoury by the original owner - and it's a beauty.

Sure does.
Wife does most of the messaging back and forth. They only take bank transfer payment; a simple process your bank can handle for you. Only problem I had the first time I used it was the bank withdrew the exact amount , took their excahnge fees out of it and shortchanged my smith. He let me know and I went back to the bank. Manager apologized for the mistake and sent the correct balance to the smith without additional charges or penalty costs to me. ( 'nother words need to make sure that your bank understands that the fee you are asking is the final payment to the recipient and any additional charges for the bank they need to adjust and bill to yourself. )

Fabri is very good but they cater to people who want stage swords. Polish Hussar supply sabres are fine, I think Skallgrim was a bit unfair in his review. The budget line they offer is pretty good. I wrote a review on SBG over a year ago on their Polish Hussar Sabre with the chain link hilt. They are the same quality as Universal swords. I have thought of Viktor B but the Polish Hussar Sabers aren't pretty good for the money. We are talking about the the difference between Windlass / Universal swords and something more mid range like Del Tin. You get your money's worth either way. Depends on how much you want to spend.
