ATrim Type XV Arming Sword - $1000
This Angus Trim Arming Sword was purchased second hand many years ago, long before Kingston Arms or other such affiliated companies were around. It may be a Type XV or a Type XVIII, I’m not an expert. It remains in mint condition, never used. The fit and finish are flawless, the balance superb, as would be expected. Comes with a plain wood and black leather scabbard with steel chape.
Overall: 36”
Blade length: 29 ¾”
Weight: 28 ½ oz
Center of Balance: 4 ½”
Center of Percussion: 20”
Dark Sword Armory Carpathian – $300
The DSA Carpathian is the discontinued predecessor to their current, and very popular, Guardian sword. This is a big, beefy hero’s sword, right from the pages of Robert Howard or Fritz Leber. Despite it’s size, its quite fast due to the heavy carbon steel fittings and cord/leather wrapped handle for balance. And it can dismantle metal shelving units without being damaged. Comes with a wood and leather scabbard with steel tip.
Overall: 43”
Blade length: 32”
Weight: 55 ½ oz
Steel: 5160 high carbon spring steel
Center of Balance: 3”
Center of Percussion: 19”
Bronze Leaf Blade sword - $200

Windless 1840 NCO Musicians sword - $200
This was the shortened version of the 1840 NCO sword and would have been issued to musicians, doctors and other support personnel. The type would have been known as a “spadroon”. The casting for the brass hilt is a bit rough, but overall it’s quite solid. The edge has been redone, making it as sharp as it is fast and light in the hand. Discontinued.
