Here are some swords that will make your eyes bleed. Just posting this in case anyone wants to buy a Roman "Sparta" sword. They must have watched 300 before marketing it and said "Hey I think the Romanis somewhere in therre had spartas. Letts go sell a model based entierely off a bladde design I made up in my head. Screw using wikipedia to do a basic check to make sure I have the name right at least when I market a histerically resarched sweard"
Funnier still is their claim to historical accuracy.
DARKSWORD ARMORY was founded by Eyal Azerad, whose lifelong dedication to the study of Medieval and Renaissance sword-making resulted in the creation of the business in 1996. Through decades of scholarly research, its founder was able to provide battle ready medieval swords able to withstand the rigors of actual combat, while remaining true to the size, weight and dimensions of the originals. Each replica is researched through examples found in Museums, private collections and other historical sources. The Darksword Armory's team is composed of six individuals, all specialized in the field of medieval swords and armor reproduction. Our apprenticeship program is presently composed of four individuals
Hope you have as good a laugh as I did, though I'm sure you're familiar with this company by now.
