<\/a>I guess you could call it an “antiqued” look<\/p><\/div>\n
Also, some of the nice wooden display boxes got damaged in transit – hardly a deal killer, but definitely annoying. Here is what I mean:<\/p>\n
It’s just a box after all, some are ok, others with a ding..<\/p><\/div>\n
Swords with these minor cosmetic issues we have designated scratch and dent level one and they are available to be shipped after a quick clean up for $500 less than the usual price..<\/p>\n
The second level of cosmetic issues may also have the patina, but also some discoloration of areas of the full rayskin wrapped scabbard like so:<\/p>\n
Not pretty, but only there if you look for it. Level 2 Scratch and Dent..<\/p><\/div>\n
And\/or they may also have an annoying scratch that happened during polishing like this:<\/p>\n
Tis but a scratch.. But a scratch that can save you $800!<\/p><\/div>\n
These details are only really visible if you are looking for them, but are enough to lower the price down $800 and are designated level 2 scratch and dents (just $999.99).<\/p>\n
Plus from now until the end of November, you can save another $100 by using the coupon code:<\/p>\n

So what can I say, if you are willing to trade off for a few imperfections to save up to $900 on a sword that, despite these cosmetic flaws are STILL heirloom quality (heck, we could argue that some of them look more like antiques ahead of their time!) – well, you know where to buy them..<\/p>\n
Stocks are limited and once they are gone they are gone for good, we took to much of a hit selling the, off at this well below wholesale price – so if you are fast, our misfortune could well be your lucky chance..<\/p>\n
