Hello folks. Finances are sadly a little tighter than I had anticipated a couple of months ago so I am looking to sell this almost finished comission piece by Swordmaker. His current waiting list is roughly 24 months long for any new orders. This piece on the other hand will be finished by July according to swordmaker. I am looking to recoup what I spend, which is 1270 Euros including shipping. It will be a rather long longsword of the Burrell style, measurements will be very similar to this piece according to Swordmaker: artofswordmaking.com/gallery/burrell-collection-longsword-14th?fbclid=IwAR2Iot7awczTRsASjc4iB4apkNkVerfZvyw49jeniymMDZ_2zKHG-xYRO_UHere are all the pictures I have currently concerning the piece (center one in the first picture): imgur.com/a/fm2vQuhI have opted for a blue grip, but this probably can still be changed if you like. Please notify me soon in that case! Hilt furniture will be like seen in the pictures. Mainly hoping for buyers from within the EU for shipping reasons. Thank you for reading!

The pieces are different. The one you present with the grip is different than the one that is the actual piece for sale. Or am I seeing things?

Yes, blades and overall stats are similar. Hilt furniture is different

sorry for the unclear wording, the overall measurements in terms of size and balance are similar to the piece on swordmakers website, I included the link to give an idea of dimensions. Hilt furniture is different however and is what you can see on the imgur gallery

He likes making that Burrell blade....looks like he is making you something very similar to what he is making me (similar guard, but more rectangular pommel), something along the lines of what he calls "elite longswords". Waiting for an update on when I'm going to see mine (supposed to be soonish)

I have more than a few of Maciej's swords and highly recommend his work... In fact I have a number of commissions with him right now, and can't afford any more, or I would probably take this one. He isn't taking any new commissions for the rest of the year so the wait time for any new one could be even longer... This is a great chance to get an awesome sword without the wait.
His scabbards are as good as his swords... whoever buys this might still be able to commission a scabbard for it if you wanted (of course it would add to the time and price).

Really interesting cross guard that's on yours. I thought his swords were more expensive than this though. Maybe I'm not aware or his prices fully.

Wow might have to take advantage of some commissions soon then, as he has some of my favorite custom work alongside the Sulowski brothers. Didn't realize that the cost was such good value on top. Sorry OP don't mean to derail thread. Just take my comments at this sword being extremely good value for the cost as Art of Sword Making is one of the best custom smiths out there imo.
