Greetings Brothers, I just signed up today and I'll try to add pictures of my swords here. I have so many (20+), it would be difficult to recall them all. Here's a few for starters that I have a picture of... Cold Steel Hand and a Half w/Teutonic Knight Outfit...  |

Here's my Darksword Armory Excalibur. It is precious to me. This picture was taken in the King Arthur Room at Ravenwood Castle. They have a cheapo stainless steel Excalibur up on the wall...  |

I'll need to take more pictures, but here's a list of few more I know I have:

MAA Hand Half (black blade), by Cold Steel
Create your own Sword, Museam Replicas-Windlass

Those are some of the quality ones I also have and can recall. I'll add more pics later. Cheers!

It's not an official replica and it's stainless like I said. I personally don't think I will ever buy a stainless steel sword ever again, but this one satisfied me for a Duncan Highlander. =) |

I looked around on the internet of why there were two different handles. The one I have was made for Duncan, but Adrian Paul didn't like the feel of it, so he didn't use it; however, it continued to be produced as a Duncan MacLeod Highlander sword because it was already under contract. LOL So, now I know the history of it.
I have a similar situation with my Game of Thrones "faceless man" coin. The official coin isn't what was used on the HBO show. HBO made their own different coin. The official coin I have is backed by the author and matches the description in the book better though.

Here's a few more from Marthor's collection...
Hanwei Kouga Ninjato- This blade features a forged high carbon blade, differentially quenched to an edge hardness of 60HRc. The hamon is real!
Hanwei Practical Ninjato - The blade is hand-forged in high-carbon steel and is differentially hardened using the traditional claying method. All of the fittings are finished in antiqued black iron. The saya (scabbard) has a very nice leather stap added for carrying on the back shoulder. 
Cold Steel Warrior Katana... 
Kill Bill Movie Bride's Sword by Ten Ryu - Very nice saya (scabbard) with markings for Hattori Hanzo who fictionally made the sword in the movie.

Munich Cut & Thrust Sword by Windlass - There are several of these swords in different private and public collections, one in the Wallace Collections and several at the Bavarian National Museum. This sword is a perfect example of a German Military Cut-and-Thrust Swept Hilt and was carried by the Munich Town Guard. This one has well-tempered 1095 carbon steel. 
Choose Your Own Sword by Windlass. You pick the parts and they put it together for you. The scabbard has an integrated belt attached. 
12 Century Sword by Legacy Arms...
