This sword is described as an Honor Sword of a famous ( and, indeed, astonishing, Hussar, Count Hadik, see Wikipedia) The problem is that Hadik's sword is a venerated treasure exhibited in Budapest, and they would be unlikely to unload it thru E-Bay :-) I did a quick research: apparently, copies of this sword are sold by Weaponsedge See here: http://sbgswordforum.proboards.com/index.cgi? action=display&board=swordreviews&thread=14394&pag e=1#2 42116 Well, I contacted the seller and gently asked whether he was aware of the fact that his item was a replica. He answered: yes, he was. But he told me that all of the Hadik's swords available were replicas and that it would be unreasonable to think otherwise. Therefore, he was not obligated to provide full description. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!!!!!!!!! |
