FS: United Cutlery Sauron & Witch King Helmets - $200!!!
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2016 11:33 pm
Hello folks,
With a future of movement on the horizon, I'm parting with even some of my dearest acquisitions in order to lighten the load. Anyone interested in them probably knows all about them so I will spare the details. Neither of these helmets have their original boxes, sadly, but I purchased them new and AT LEAST have the certificate for the Sauron helmet in very nice condition - it is #978 of 3000 in the limited edition run. I'm still hunting for the Witch King certificate!
The Witch King helmet was purchased after UC went through financial difficulties an reopened their doors with new prospects and apparently lax quality control. I received the piece brand new with some cracking in the paint work and shoddy glue on the skull liner. In my naivety I figured I might fix these issues myself someday, but never got around to it. Of course I should have sent it back to the licensed vendor immediately. Please don't remind me. The Sauron helmet is in excellent condition all around. Both of them have been sitting displayed in the same spot where they are in the photographs since they were brand new. Hardly any handling whatsoever over the past decade or so.
Because of the great size of these two helmets and the fact that the Witch King helmet is not without flaws, I would like to sell them to someone who is interested in picking them up together, in person, or within a reasonable driving distance from my home near Fresno, California. For BOTH helmets I am asking $200 total. This is less than the current market price for the Sauron helmet alone. I will not part with them separately. Consider the Witch King helmet a bonus for buying Sauron.
Cheers!
