Limited Run Jack Sparrow Sword (All Metal Replica) with Scabbard -SHIPPING!-
- Thread starter Indy Magnoli
- Start date
By popular demand I'm seeing if I can do a mini-run for those who missed out... stay tuned!
Ok, for those who missed out on this run, I've done a very small run, so if you want one, the price for these will be $225 (shipping included). Send me a PM or e-mail asap as there are only a few of these and I've already begun taking pre-orders. They should be ready to ship in another week or two.
Kind regards,
Indy

Mine arrived today - A bit disappointed in it.
No even rust finish to the blade like Lunaman's (which I assume is supposed to be the case for all of them) - just a *tiny* bit of reddish colour in the indent near the hilt.
It also looks like the very tip broke off. No sharp point for me. =(
Some superficial pits, dings, and other marks. But those aren't an issue for me.
The most concerning thing for me is that the blade isn't attached to the hilt very well at all.
You can see a relatively large gap in between where the blade and the hilt connect.
If I jiggle it up and down (gently, not like a real rum-soaked gentleman of the sea would), you can hear a loud clanging noise.
Even if you slowly flip the sword pointing left to right, you can feel the blade shift from one side of the hilt gap to the other.
It's a wonderful replica, to be sure. And I have no doubt it's the most accurate one out there.
But for $250 Canadian, I feel that the quality should be at least somewhat more consistent.
The worst part is, even if I were to undergo the fiasco of sending it back and receiving a new one, it wouldn't arrive in time for an event.
So I have to settle for this, I think.
Perhaps a wood blade would have been a better choice after all, 'ey? (or at least less wobbly)

When is your event? How about you use this one for the event and then we can discuss what to do afterwards? That way you're still covered for the event AND end up with the sword you wanted. Shoot me a PM or e-mail when you get a chance.
Oh, and the "superficial pits, dings, and other marks" are supposed to be there.
