Picked this sword up a few years back from another collector on this forum. Life moves along at its own constant pace and I find that I need to have fewer things encumbering me in my next phase of life. That being the case, this sword needs a new caretaker. Its a custom one off. My understanding of this bit of art is that it was created by Josh Davis of Davis Reproductions while he was over at Arms and Armor. If you want measures I can work on all of that but I think the photos tell its story much better than metrics. The short version description is that its longsword that just wants to scream "Yes, I'm German". Handle is surprisingly comfortable and the whole package is a real eye catcher. I'm asking $1650 shipped CONUS. Will ship in a plastic rifle case inside a box. Asking price as of 8/12 reduced to = $1545 Asking price as of 9/7 reduced to = $1500 Asking price as of 9/11 reduced to $1465 Asking price as of 9/21 reduced to $1415 Feeling crazy so asking price as of 9/22 reduced to $1395

It's inspired by the Albion Munich Gothic. Which is inspired by the Munich sword and the grip of the sword next to it in the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum.

I am open to international shipping but its going to have to be to a legal receiving destination and I am not going to eat all the shipping cost. I know the ballpark shipping cost in the US will be around $100. International has been much higher than domestic when I've done it before.

Was asked if I am open to offers. I am most interested in just selling the sword but I will consider offers.
