Guthwine Sword (Factory Seconds)

I have wanted this sword since I first saw the films, and recently have got to a position where I could get it. I was a little worried about it being a "factory second", and emailed with my concern, but a response from Kolbe with photos allayed my worries. getting the scabbard as well was a wonderful bonus.
This is a magnificent sword. The detail is excellent. I can find no flaws beyond some tiny pale blotches on the rear of the scabbard to suggest it is a factory second. The sword and scabbard I received were the ones that Kolbe sent photos of.
It is a little heavier and shorter than my Viking broadsword, and the balance point is further down the blade. Neither of these are a problem.
It is, however, far better looking than my broadsword - it is indeed a thing of beauty.
The scabbard loops are well placed to hold the scabbard at the right angle.
Sadly, I am informed by my wife that a sword is not an acceptable everyday accessory, otherwise it would be with me all the time. As a compromise, it will be displayed in pride of place above my other swords.
Thank you to Magnoli, and particularly to Kolbe, for fulfilling a dream.
My advice is, if you want Guthwine and can afford it, get it here. You won't be disappointed.
