1. The rack arrived in a timely manner, but I was completely dissatisified with it. There were no directions for assembly, and in trying to assemble it, I found that pre-drilled holes for screws were no alligned properly. Needing to drill several new holes was inconvenient.
   
   On eventual assembly,the screws split the composition board used for the rack, and the assembled rack was uneven/warped, needing adhesive to affix it to the wall to hold the swords.
   
   The seller offered to replace it, but only after I returned it......not right away.....and it wasn't worth the trouble. They said it was a manufacturers mistake, and I think they should have offered to send me another right away, returning the defective product after I got the replacement.
   
   I'll not do business with them again.

2. I ordered this for my husband's USMC sword. It is lightweight, and has a simple design that does not draw attention away from the item being diplayed. Great product.

1. A MUST have for any Marine NCO,... At a price that matches Marine Corps durability... The BEST!



2. This is a fine example of a replica USMC Staff NCO Sword. Compared to some of the others I looked at, this should be the one of choice. Fine engraving on a stainless steel blade. Exactly like the one I carried in many a parade, while stationed at MCRDep, San Diego, CA. On one particular occasion, I was issued a sword, a little too short, and when the command for officers front and center was given, during the final salute, I ran the tip of the sword into my ear.
   No doubt about it, if you are looking for a fine example of the USMC NCO Sword, this is it!

1. I ordered this sword to use with a pirate costume, and it certainly looks the part, but there were a few shortcomings.The scabbard is fairly well made, but the brass stud that holds a real cutlass in its frog (the thingie you hang the scabbard from your belt with) isn't attached to the scabbard, as it would be in the genuine article. Instead, it's a separate casting that does nothing useful whatsoever.The frog itself is made of a particularly stretchy variety of pleather. This means that the scabbard slips free of the frog after a few minutes of wear, dumping the scabbard on the ground. I fashioned a better frog using leather scraps left over from another project.The sword itself is quite convincing, has the proper heft, and screams "pirate!" without having to paste little skulls and crossbones all over it.If you want detailed historical accuracy, keep looking. If you want an inexpensive accessory for a nautical costume and are able to deal with its shortcomings, this cutlass and scabbard is a bargain.



2. Unlike many others out there, I didn't buy this sword just to play dress up. I've a powerful need to own a sword that can do some damage and actualy hold it's own in a fight. It may surprise quite a few people to know that most nerds and geeks have at least one sword. Most of them harbor some kind of fantasy about either traveling to some Narnia type world and using their sword to become a great hero or traveling to the distant past like maybe King Aurthur's Court or a post apocolyptic future where guns and bullets have become extremely rare (see Battle Angel Alita) or they're waiting for the zombies to attack because when facing off against zombies nothing beats a sword. The thing is, nerds almost never bother to train with their swords beyond pulling them out and taking a few practice slashes in front of a mirror, and only a small few know enough to not buy a mere, stainless steel, "display" sword. With the current political turmoil all over the world the odds of living in a post apocalyptic near future have gone up. Many religious fanatics believe that the apocolyps is right around the corner. That would bring about the walking dead. Al Gore says the polar ice caps are going to melt soon, submerging much of the world in water. That would certainly bring about a rise in piracy. So I decided to train with my swords while putting much of my collection to the test. Now, as of yet, I've not had occasion to cross blades with any nerds, heroes, zombies or pirates, yet. But after a few intense training sessions, invloving large firewood logs hanging from ropes attatched to tree branches, this blade doesn't have a single dent, nick or scratch. The hand guard has a couple dents and scratches but it's nothing more than I expected. The hand guard is brass after all. The hilt wobbles a little bit but that was to be exptected as well, and it's only a tiny bit. The frog is a piece of cr@p but who needs it? The sheath is strong and sturdy. I am quite confident that with this sword I could cut through nerds and zombies like butter. I'll give heroes and pirates a little more credit and say that I could hold my own for a while but I think the sword would remain after I've been cut down. If you're looking for a sword that has some practical functionality, this is it right here.
