FS - Kirby Wise German 2 Hand Sword -SOLD-

Post by Jeffrey Hedgecock »

I'm selling this piece which I bought directly from Kirby back in about 1997-8. I am not sure when it was made, because he had it in stock at the time. I am the only owner after Kirby.

It's a pretty large piece, measuring 75" long, with quillons of 30-1/2" wide.

I added the leather ricasso wrapping, which is stitched on the back side, and the fringe on the grip. I also beveled the pommel edge and layed brass detailing into grooves I cut on both sides. I also blued the pommel.

This is a very rare piece, with a high degree of collector's value.

Asking price is $850, which is a steal for a piece of this type, especially considering the reputation of its maker. Shipping is additional, via UPS at actual cost.

That last picture is for scale. My hand is average size.

Please email me if you're interested: jeffrey(at)historicenterprises.com

I'd much rather you email than PM, as I only check in here irregularly.
Thanks!!
