I'm rather loathe to part with either of these swords, as they are excellent examples of Windlass doing a great job. Both are some of the best cutters I've used, and just a ton of fun to use. But there's two swords I'm expecting to be available soon, and I could use an influx of cash to help pay for them, so here we are.
I accept Zelle (highly preferred) and Paypal (friends & family ONLY). These will ship out of California, and continental US shipping is included in the price. I am willing to ship internationally, but the buyer will be required to pay for shipping.
Up first is my Windlass 1796 light cavalry saber. An outstanding representation of the model. Tons of distal taper, and surprisingly well-sharpened - good enough to give me a lot of silent cuts despite my inexperience with sabres. This was gifted to me for my channel by an anonymous person. I have since identified (and thanked!) that person, and cleared this sale with them.
This sells new for $369.95 on MRL, plus tax and shipping. I am looking to get $315 SOLD.

Next up is this Windlass/Matt Easton/Royal Armouries Wakefield hanger. An amazingly fun little sword, light and agile. I had it sharpened by Matthew Cross, both the true and false edge.
This sells new for $544.95, plus tax and shipping, at MRL. I am looking for $450 SOLD.
The false edge took a small chip due to some poor technique and lack of foresight on my part and hit a metal screw. I've done a little bit of stropping with jeweler's rouge on that part of the blade to smooth out the nick a little bit. I think it could be ground out quite quickly and easily. The first picture below shows this damage, the second picture shows it and the other damage.
The other damage is a very slight roll on the true edge. This was not from any mistakes on my part. I think it's a result of the edge geometry being very, very fine on this sword. It has not affected the sword's cutting ability in the slightest in my testing.
