Puffer-- Nice looking broadsword... I think the last time I wore a sword (aside from official duties) would have been at a wedding maybe 25 years ago. Same with dirks-- don't think I've worn one for 10, maybe 15 years. I find they tend to get in the way. Before Wilkinson Sword closed down we used to repair half a dozen or so swords every year that had been closed in car doors.
But more to the point: I collect modern broadswords and would be interested in contacting the fellow who made yours.

If you mean the steel hilted sword then

I am currently saving my pennies for the "ealy Basket hilt ) 17th centry - pg. 3) I am a "lowlander & this style comes close the type they wore. + I like it
This offit comes VERY highly recomended by those "that know" as to best value for $$. They are not cheap, but worth it.
BTW Talk with them. they will modify the sword to you spec, ( mine is a back
sword. I changed the tip, & the liner (3/4 instead of full
