My parents purchased this sword for me a numberof years ago as a birthday present while on a trip to Spain. They shipped it back and it has decorated my wall ever since. It has only been handled a few times and has never been used for anything but display. It is a very attractive sword. I\'m only selling it because I have a wedding to prepare for and need the cash.

This sword is in very good condition, almost like new. It is gorgeous and sells for $400-$600 new.

Note - I will not ship outside of the United States.

Please let me know if you have any questions. In the meantime, I researched online and found this description of the sword (below).
