Way to purchase your first blade- LOOK AT 1000 BLADES, LEARN ABOUT THEM, BUY BOOKS, REFER BACK HERE OFTEN, THEN AND ONLY THEN buy your first blade

Just my opinion, I think it is a beautiful sword with great mounts, in great condition. That being said I think that it was a fair price. Not cheap but fair. Many times price is relative to what you like and the money you have to spend at the time. Those that have been collecting for a long time have all spent a premium price for those one or two ( or more ) items that we Really Liked and wanted for Ourselves

Great sword and a well known smith. This is a keeper. Thank you for sharing MikeR

I have done business with Danny in the past and spoke with him on the phone, Great guy, good prices and nice stuff. Will buy from in again with no hesitation. Go for it. MikeR

Looks like some great swords. Congratulations on a good show. Thank you for sharing MikeR

Looks great Tom. Looks like a lot of nice items on that table. Pat is looking good too. Hope you both had a Great Show. Thank you for sharing MikeR

Joey, looks like a real nice sword. DO NOT TRY CLEANING IT UP until you have read the information here on the forum about how to do it. Also yes it looks like the Saya/ scabbard is missing most of the paint BUT as stated above it has the desirable/ not so common patt. applied for drag and appears to me that the Saya is the light weight aluminum also not too common. Don’t know what you paid for it but a nice find, and if you are just getting started nice first sword. Hang around here as this is a great forum with Great People. Thank you for sharing MikeR

Had a glitch this morning with my papal so Travis sold it to someone else after telling me it was no problem and he would wait No way to sell here. MikeR

Adam, Great sword. If this is a start to you collecting, you have a better start than most. If this is the only sword that you are the care taker of than it is something that you can be proud of. Thank you for sharing and Enjoy MikeR
