Spencer,

An outstanding shooting prize sword. The sword is Bavarian and the lion is the emblem of the Bavarian Landespolizei. Here is the same insignia on a table medal.

Wow-
Talk about a score fresh from the woodwork! Did he score it at a nice price or pay retail? I imagine he was able to buy her for next to nothing if it was a treasure find.

THanks for all the email and kind comments about this sword. IM thinking about working a deal out with him so I can get the sword, but will see where it goes. As of now I will have it at SOS come by my table and check it out. I will have a tall banner on my table that says Victory Militaria and a Hot girl behind the table Can't miss it. I will let here know that some members may be coming by to look at the sword.

I had an opportunity to buy this sword. In retrospect, it was a steal and I regret not pulling the trigger.

Pretty simple. I was in contact with the seller before Spencer V's sister's boyfriend got to it.
