Hey guys quick question. Has anyone got any experience with the GBS from arms and armor? I read the myarmoury reviews years ago and found myself thinking about it again and am considering picking one up. Just like to know if it still holds up in the market nowadays. Had a reputation of being heavy and hitting like a truck but quite nimble with how it was balanced. Haven't heard much about A&A in the last couple years.

I've been curious about that sword too. It looks quite nice. Their Durer sword appeals to me as well. I haven't found much information on either sword or A&A in general lately.

I own a Durer and absolutely love it. Well balanced and a great cutter to play with. I would love to handle a gbs one day as I'm obsessed with it. But really don't want to spend the money before handling it. Honestly the weight in the gbs scares me a bit. But the Durer is definitely worth the money

I'm questioning if the stats for the GBS are correct or if it is listed overweight?
I have the Towton, which is also an XVIIIc, but with a blade 4.5" (11cm) shorter. The Towton is listed as 1-1/3 pounds lighter than the GBS.

I had a Durer sword at one time but sold it. Really enjoyed it but I sold it to clear out space at the time. I went back and forth between it and the GBS. I may just have to break down and buy one. It's one I've always been drawn to.

The video A&A posted on their YouTube channel says it weighs almost 4 and a half pounds.

All the reviews say the bastard sword is definitely that heavy but they also say it's balanced enough that it doesn't feel that heavy. I really want to handle one
