Good guy, easy to work with, sent the sword very quickly. He made a shipping label like 3 mins after payment and shipped it out the next morning. I bought a Valiant Armoury Kriegschwert from Eric just a few days ago. The sword is as described, with small spots of surface rust that I cleaned up easily enough. He included the belt that came with it, which I see as a bonus item. I didn't know it was coming with a belt. However.... the belt is unusable. Eric had no way of knowing this because the belt was in it's original packaging, but for some reason Valiant Armoury's belt buckle is SMALLER THAN THE BELT. I can't get the belt through the buckle, lol. Oh well, that's on Valiant and not Eric. Packaging left a lot to be desired. Essentially just thrown into a box with a very small bit of paper. When I brought the package in from my doorstep the hilt was sticking out of a hole on the side of the box, and got a little scratched up. The box itself was pretty mangled. The scabbard seems to have gotten a lot of premature wear by bouncing around loosely in the box. I would buy from Eric again, but only if I had some assurances that he would at least use some more paper or something. Included are some pics of the package as it arrived and the contents of the box, untouched. If you're wondering what the metal plate is covering my stove, it's an upside down stainless steel removable griddle top that goes over the gas burners so I can cook diner-style if the mood hits.

I am sorry it arrived with some surface rust, there was none when it left, I am sorry it looks like the bottom of the box was damaged there was packaging to hold the sword together, wonder if it came out and someone repaired the box. I am glad it made it to you safely, I am also glad to have a conversation with you and will take this to heart and make sure to extra pack the box on those longer swords.

If the box broke and the paper fell out, that's not on you. It does seem they taped up a tear in the box, so that theory does hold some water. I'd buy from you again in any case.
