Greetings all, Veterans of the old SBG days will remember me as Sept of the Clan Sinclair/Daniel Sinclair, I rarely post in the sword communities anymore just because life happens, and speaking of life happening I find myself in need of rehoming a sword. imgur.com/wAfbyXhPictured is a Valiant Armory Kriegschwert, one of the early generation signature versions with a hex nut pommel, back from when they used to get the blades from overseas. Handle and scabbard are dark green, straps and belt are black (the classic "Ranger" look). Cut with once when I received it years ago, just a milk jug, and well maintained/displayed with Renn Wax ever since. Scabbard in good shape, belt leather is a bit dry. This has long been a beautiful centerpiece in my collection but circumstances have changed and I am regretfully looking for a new home. imgur.com/0MM6jOeThese are currently going brand new somewhere over the $1300 mark, I would like to get $800USD $550 OBO plus travel. More pictures available on request. Please be kind, it was a beloved sword for many years. (Price dropped on the advice of the wise and trusted members of the SBG forum)

Hey there, the brand new ones that are going for $1300 are their craftsman series handmade blades in the USA from 6150 Steel. This one is their earlier model like you stated and thus not going for $1300 brand new as they are not in production anymore. I might be wrong but I believe they retailed at $500 when it was in production, you can find a few resources online still that list it's old retail value. Granted you can charge whatever you'd like just wanted to throw this out there. Personally I really miss their signature collection because the quality was still very much there but for a budget price that I myself could actually afford lol.

Hey thanks for the info, not trying to highball people I was going off of an ebay listing I had seen - granted it was several months ago but I noted it was a signature and selling for around 800. I could be wrong though. I am willing to adjust the price if a buyer is interested, I haven't sold my swords online in a while so I'm a little rusty (even though my sword isn't, lol). What would you suggest for a price?

This is certainly a blast from the past. This is a fantastic sword and whoever decides to pick this up won't be disappointed.

Tempting, if it's still available in a month or so (waiting for paychecks suck). Do you have any more photos of the blade?
Regards, AE.

Old school... the sword and the seller. I had one of these with the same color scheme back in the day.

Beautiful piece! Would love to see more pics if it's not a huge pain. Specifically interested in seeing the blade. It's also difficult to differentiate between the dark green of the grip and the black of the scabbard. Maybe a pic or two with different lighting to better contrast the colors? Really tempted by this one ...

Daniel Hi Daniel, May I suggest: If you keep each pic under 1 MB, you can easily attach them by editing your post, then hitting add attachment. Just under 1 MB resolution is totally sufficient for potential buyers to get a good idea of the sword. Good luck with your sale!

Hey Dan, long time no see! Hey I'm interested in the sword too and would love to see some full pics uploaded as well. Speaking of swords do you still have the Killer Bee Ronin Dojo Pro?

Thanks for the kind words, gang! Good to see you all too!
nddave, I do indeed still have that sword - it's a beaut.
sdjohn, thanks for the advice - managed to get more photos up. If the green isn't showing up well enough I can try outside if the weather permits.
