This is real, and its heavy. not sure what this is worth but the pics dont do it justice. And yes, its needs to be wiped off. ![http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e159/j_espo1/DSC00646.jpg](http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e159/j_espo1/DSC00646.jpg) heres a cd next to the handle so you can get an idea of the size ![http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e159/j_espo1/DSC00647.jpg](http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e159/j_espo1/DSC00647.jpg) ---

Im not sure how much your looking to get, but dont expect a ton. any type of collectors stuff has dropped way down in value. Alot of this stuff you see is chinese show crap that you can easily by wholesale if you know where to look. On another note, the amount of engineering work that goes into swords is astounding. Coupled with todays technology, you can purchase some really awesome stuff. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tw-fs-real-sword/39465.md?page=2)
