I had Jeffrey make this several years ago. However I am trimming down my sword collection and so this is one of the jewels I have decided to move along. It is fully functional and sharp. Though I doubt you'd want to as the fittings are quite heavy. This is not screwed together. It is beautifully peened at the pommel. This is a piece like few other. And I really love it. But I am down sizing and going in a different direction. It comes with a simple but sturdy wooden scabbard that Jeffrey made. It's coated in an epoxy resin to make it pretty dang tough. But it's just to protect the blade for transport or storage... it doesn't have any belt attachments or anything. This particular piece is different than the few he's made previously. If you look at the ones on his site... they have shorter hilts. I didn't feel like that was accurate to the original drawings. So I asked him to add a few more sections to the casting. So this is technically one of a kind even though I think he said he's made 2 or 3 others. I would much prefer to do a face to face deal on this as I'm really not keen on shipping it. But I will if need be. But this is definitely a sword worth questing over. I live in Georgia by the way. Price is $3,500 (I believe he charges $4K+ for these now). And shipping will be extra if we go that route. Only trade I'd consider would be a Albion Destroyer or Atlantean (Destroyer Preferred).

May I suggest adding some pictures of your own, including a proof picture? Should help reassure people with such a high ticket item.

But basically these pics are for advertising. If someone is truly interested in buying this piece I'll make them whatever pics and vids they want. I mean I don't expect anyone to drop this kinda cash on a sword without vetting me and the item.

It does suck that we have scammers in our midst. You'd like to think sword folks believe in honor.

I'm not really interested in a trade as I'm not that into thunder cats, but if you're interested in a regular Atlantean or father sword I have those for sale under retail

Just gorgeous. What’s the weight? Hey Landon... I didn't know you were on here. We're actually friends on Facebook... I'm Keith Gilbert. I'll have to put it on a scale and see. Just guessing it's like 10lbs. The entire hilt and guard are solid sculpted bronze nickel plated. The up side is that the blade doesn't even feel like it's there LOL.

Hot damn. This sword was probably the sword that first captured my imagination as a kid. Super cool. Had a plastic one and my stupid friend broke it in half...
This piece is impressive

This piece is impressive I had the same one. It lit up with a button on the hilt. Mine broke in half too. Those hollow plastic blades couldn't handle enthusiastic kids.
