I had to retract a recent post about the new Kingston Arms swords designed by Angus Trim that arrived just before the weekend – as not only had the swords not been made to the correct specifications, but my description of the error was also erroneous..<\/p>\n

Hence, the title of this post – Two Wrongs (the double oops)..<\/p>\n

From the description I was provided late Friday afternoon of the swords – I was under the impression that the leather fittings were black instead of as pictured below..<\/p>\n

Type XIV Single Hand Medieval Arming Sword<\/p><\/div>\n

Type XVIII Single Hand Medieval Sword<\/p><\/div>\n

As it turns out – the swords WERE\/ARE exactly as pictured here, but SHOULD have had reddish brown grips..<\/p>\n

The main thing that caused them to be off spec was the type XIV is a bit overweight and the edges on both didn’t fit with what CAS Iberia were looking for in an out of the box performance sword. Also, they swapped the pommels between the swords from Gus’s originals.<\/p>\n

I will contact everyone who ordered in the next couple of minutes to see if they are okay with and relist any remaining swords as soon as we get final clarification.<\/p>\n

Sometimes one oops just follows another one – sorry to everyone for any inconvenience. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
