I've looked up Darksword and the reviews over the past have not been favorable.

I find this bevor rather interesting in its look and design.

Whatdya think? Not bad, or is it a piece of import junk?

What do you plan on using it for?

It may not be suitable for real world jousting or something like that, but hopefully SCA suitable. Close enough to the real historical example.

SCA rattan fighting?

That Bevor looks pretty high. Are you planning on using it under something like a sallet? It looks like when it is fully extended that it will come up to the wearers eyes or higher.

Possibly. It is adjustable though.

You're right it does look high, but then again I have a long neck being 6'7. I asked the armory for photos of someone wearing one and they regrettably informed me they didn't. I'm going to be careful considering this purchase as it may be an import that just LOOKS good.
