I've seen those DelTin 'Orcrist' blades before...very similar to the UC Glamdring in overall build and outline; amost leaf-like. I like what they've done with it here. If you go here:

I hope it sells for more than that. Otherwise I shall have to be sad.

The problem is that a sword with belt and scabbard so highly customized in such a non historical fashion really limits the market.
It won't appeal to the historic minded and it won't appeal to much of the fantasy crowd either.
Makes me wonder if it was a commission that fell through or a piece made for his personal collection.
Looks like some really skilled work and quit a bit of time went into it.
I hope the maker gets enough money out of it to cover his time and materials at least.
