Kinda a heads up right now Cold Steel is offering up sword "seconds" really cheap through thier special projects division. I ordered a 1786 light cavalry sword on monday, the sword cost $130 plus tax and shipping for a grand total of $150. It arrived on thurday and it is impressive, it is a real sword not a cheap imitation, these swords normally sell for $300+ taxes and shipping. If interested just search for cold steel special projects.
