Kristie
sold me from the classifieds a shamashir by windlass. It was exactly as described, exactly as pictured, priced to make us both happy, and shipped immediately, arriving long before I expected.
packaging was professional,, possibly the original shipping carton? If not, certainly from a sword purchase. The sword is good, completely unique in my humble collection, I am happy.
the seller put their contact email in the listing, and did comment that they did not get notifications of messaging, so might not have seen my showing interest unless I had emailed,,, however, I did not post in the thread, and perhaps this would have given a notification, so although my email notifying that I had messaged did the trick, I should have also commented in the thread to provide more chances of a notification for the user. I did feel it unusual that the email was in the thread, but another user commented in the thread shortly afterward, so lucky me I won the race.

Glad that you are happy. I understand that is a good cutter and is on my list.

I don't really want to have the conversation here, I should keep it to praise for Kristie's rapid shipping,, but anyway it's a very different sword than I expected. I was thinking it would be like a military saber, but it's really not. It's stunningly lightweight when you hold it by the scabbard, but when you hold it by the handle it's this weird effect of feeling very heavy in the hand. It's only once you start to figure out how to swing it that it feels light and cuts right.
