if additionaly to the $4000 you are also willing to get rid of your soul, try NordCrown nord-crown.com/gallery/#weaponWhen it comes to sabers of any kind, Andrzej Mikiciak. imgur.com/gallery/6C556#RYW1Xoi he is a giant pain in the *** to get in contact with, but he is one of the best sabermakers in the world today. He is sadly not known by many people. I stalked your profile a bit and found out that you wanted a Swiss Sabre... Both Tomek Kowmal and Andrzej Mikiciak can, and will and IN YOUR PRICE RANGE. I actually have one waiting to be made by Andrzej Mikiciak

For me, I would definitely look into a John Lundemo/Longship Armories custom piece.
I have some Longship Armories swords and they are the crown jewels of my collection. I also met John once and he is one cool guy and passionate about his work. If I could decide on what I want in a custom I would be hounding John right now to make it.
Other choices I would certainly consider:
Fable Blades. I do not own a Fable at this time and I feel that is my loss. Brenno does really nice work.
brotherbanzai who is active on these boards does amazing work.

I gave this some thought last night and I too would recommend Longship Armoury, if I was buying today it would be my first choice when looking for custom work or high end production, also Albion if they have what you are looking for.
As for Raven Armouries their swords are great but the wait times are just out of control so I would not recommend them till they have their backlog cleared out.

Agree... But Bartha waiting log is like 3 years now? I would check Craig at A&A... With that budget you can get a very nice, historically accurate replica sword... I got my Swiss Saber from them

I got my Swiss Saber from them I forgot about Craig. I'd recommend them as well. Barta's wait is a long one, but worth it by all accounts.
