Legendary Arms Confusion

[westcoastcampaigner]

Hello All,

I'm a little confused about the foot officer's sword Legendary Arms carries and was hoping I could get an answer here. They have two versions...one with markings and one without markings. What do they mean by the with and without markings distinction? What markings are they referring to? Do they mean manufacture markings or the ornate markings that are on the blade? Anyone know? Thanks for the help.

Best Regards,

Look at the two pictures. One has markings/scrolling on the blade at the end nearest the guard, the other doesn't.

Get the $200 version with markings. There is a much bigger difference between the two then just markings. The $65 sword is a heavy and chunky pile of crap. I purchased that version first and to say I was not happy is a big understatment. I then purchased the $200 version and I am happy with it. I compared it next to one from Ames and they are just about identical. However, neither the better LA or Ames are perfect repros but you can't find a perfect repro sword.
