Post some pictures of Euro swords you all are looking to see come to market, and I'll look into the costs of making them. Went thru this 4 years ago. Former active member bought a 235.00 Cold Steel British P1796 Light Cav saber then called Craig Johnson of A&A and asked him if he could taper it historically. Craig said no-problem doing it, but the CNC time would run the kid 400.00. He did it. Sword is a screamer. ( I know, I own it.) So how many folks are going to ante up 500.00 for a correctly balanced reproduction? (Not many.) I would save up for one without a doubt. There are very few good sabers on the market today and if they are able to produce one then I would not hesitate to buy one. |

I'll be in China doing factory visits again this summer and will inquire with them. I've seen a few Chinese style sabers. I think most sabers on the market are coming out of India and Pakistan.

Windlass ( = Cold Steel ), Weapon Edge and Universal Swords have the replica market.
They all are based in India.

Dynasty Forge has done euros; perhaps at the behest of Cold Steel. They do sell their items off their own web site also. |

Post some pictures of Euro swords you all are looking to see come to market, and I'll look into the costs of making them. While we're suggesting possible Euro swords, I'd go for some of the models that aren't widely made in the production market--Types XV and higher. Would love to see more Type XVIIIs like this: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/74/88/e5/7488e508ff74964e54d53b04b49f5e99.jpgHaving trouble finding a picture of it, but the Type XVIII that supposedly belonged to Archduke Philip the Handsome would be awesome, too. |
