Picked up two Del Tin pieces, one heavily coated in rust, the other in fantastic shap for being 40 years old.
Both have the wolf stamp of the Museum Replicas Limited era, Krupp Steel blades.
First is a Viking sword. Unknown name, it does not have a current equivalent. Similar style blades are called the "Loiten" viking. Type x blade, extremely well balanced and light, especially compared to heavier modern del tin pieces.
Was coated in red rust. Cleaned, oxides left behind, but honestly I stopped cleaning because the aged look is natural and hard to imitate artificially. Solid, rings nicely when tapped.
Asking $300 shipped, rare piece.
Second is a Del Tin 5148. Also MRL era.
Different blade profile than the modern one. Has a large ricasso for half swording, flattened hexagonal cross section, blade is in very good shape fore how old it is, minor rust on the hilt. Also has a leather grip, worn out, not great shape. Solid construction though, Also rings. Weighs 3lb, 13oz on my food scale which is very light for a Del Tin 2 handed sword. Asking $375 shipped US.
Pictures soon.

Added a quick leather grip to the viking. Will need to be redone but for now it works.
