Hey all, here's a piece from my personal collection. I picked up this Valiant Irish arming sword exactly 2 weeks ago, and while I love the blade, the hilt just isn't doing it for me, so I'm putting it up for sale or trade. The sword is in the same condition I got it, which is brand new but with a couple of scuffs on the scabbard and belt. The grip and scabbard are light brown and the belt is antique red. The scabbard fit is pretty good, it will stay in place when held upside down but is still easy to draw. The blade is almost but not quite sharp, not sure if this is normal for Valiant swords.
Price on this is $1225 $1100 plus shipping, a slight discount because of the scuffs. I'd also be willing to trade for another higher-end arming sword of type Xa, XI, XII, or XIII with a blade under 2 inches wide. Would consider other swords as well, let me know what you've got!
Here are the stats: Overall Length: 38.5 inches Blade Length: 30.75 inches Blade Thickness at Base: 5.1mm Blade Thickness near Tip: 2.5mm
Grip Length: 4.5 inches Point of Balance: 4.25 inches Weight: 2 lbs 4 ounces (lighter than on Valiant's site)

IDK about anyone else, but the pictures are not loading for me. It's a large, blank space with a grey "do not enter" sigh shape in the middle of where I'm assuming each picture should be.

Ring pommels are interesting, the Gallowglass is one of my top favorite swords of all time, alongside I love the Albion Kern design. But other Irish ring pommel swords I have seen I never liked as much when the pommel was much fatter and thicker. This one looks really awesome though, and probably handles a lot better than the Albion Kern which a lot of people complain about for poor handling. Awesome aesthetics aside.
