Well made piece but…
"The blade is very well made and the details on the blade and hand are beautiful. However for $600 I was disappointed with the amount of tarnish already on the handle and hilt when it arrived. The plastic left streak marks all over, even polishing it for an hour I couldn’t get them all out. There’s a small deep scratch on the hilt too, while it’s hardly noticeable I think for $600 it should be free of any of those especially since that will never buff out. It’s understandable for a blade that would see use but not for a collectible that never gets touched. I’ll continue to try and buff out the tarnish marks and hopefully make it look cleaner. I really wish I could give it 5 stars but I just can’t."
