Deepeeka Pompeii & Mainz Gladius for sale!
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 3:18 pm
Hey folks,
I've got two Deepeeka swords I'd like to sell. Both have never been used for any purpose except display in my room. They were purchased about two years ago. Both are well-balanced.
One is a wood/bone handled Pompeii Gladius. It is 27" long. The blade has a bunch of weird marks from finishing on it, as well as some gunk that would come off. Deepeeka puts a protective lacquer on their blades, so I haven't messed with it by trying to remove the stuff, which was there when I got it. The scabbard is in good condition, but the brass has started to patina, and will need to be polished to get a nice shine again. The blade on the sword has a bit of a warp along it's length, but it's hardly noticeable except when you look down the blade.
Paid $160 or so, want $100, shipped within the US.
Second is a Mainz Gladius. 28" long. The blade is very clean, except for a bit of the same stuff under the lacquer along a couple of inches in one corner. By far a very clean surface, overall. The hilt was a bit wobbly when I got it, so I glued some tied string in between the pommel and hilt. It's better, but not entirely stiff. The scabbard is beautiful, and I'm assuming there is lacquer over it, as there is little show of wear and age on it. Very crisp detailing, too.
Paid $140 or so, want $115 because of it's great condition, shipped within the US.
I'm in need of this money to complete my SCA kit, so any buyers would be greatly appreciated. I prefer Paypal to cwldkl@yahoo.com and will also take money orders or personal checks. Shipping within the Continental US is included in the prices given. Thanks!
