Highlander swords: please help the new guy

I have a question and have to ask for open answers. I have 3 swords from marto Adrian Pauls, Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown. All are from marto and the first run of what was sold so all are signed and blades were never used and have no blemishes. The kurgan sword is number 11 of 1000.

All the swords were purchased from Davis Panzer in 2002 approx

would you sell?

yes i have pictures if you would like to see

For anyone who asks i was 12 when i saw highlander on a vhs tape

Are there other pictures of the original hilt of the sword, from season 3 ep 1, or maybe pictures of original prop hilt?

My repaired marto handle on top and self made handle on bottom, patina is very different, much more realistic.
Work is still in progress as I am polishing the blade for now, the tsuba is not finished yet, I made a bit different design on the ring too, to get it nicer than original.THe bottom head has been fully carved, because the cast was very ugly.
It will be a good handle, waiting for genuine ivory one.
Once finished, the difference between both swords will be night and day, a replica and a real thing, except handle style, definitely nothing historically accurate in that.

Mathew, your best bet is to post them on ebay, and how much you ask would be depending on the status of a few things? the condition of the swords, do you have th and original red tubes and the COA... that’s where the money comes from

Unluckily the uk ebay does not allow weapons to be posted on ebay owing to the law here, these have the black tubes as they were purchased when marto first released them and the signature is embedded in the blade itself should you wish for pics can add, they also come with the coa from marto
 
sorry i’m not looking to buy , i was just trying to help you out best i could in the area of how to sell it, but you have a lot of stuff against you , like lack of proper exposer due to your countries laws.. but i know there are plenty of people looking for these swords
 
hope this gives you all an idea

From what I heard they loss the rights

The Martos produced in the mid to late 90's were screen accurate as that was what was used on the show, the only changes on them were the metal collar placed next to the head of the dragon to reinforce it as the first ones broke right off.

The Martos first put out are extremely rare as most broke, I would say there is probably less than 5 or 6 out there.

I remember on one of my trips to Marto USA seeing all sorts of broken dragon heads lying about, wish I would have snagged one now! :lol

The Kurgan is going to rock as he has the original as well as the case to referance from.

Good time to be a fan of the series!!
