At the last Renaissance Festival in the Amana Colonies, I was often asked how long does it take me to make one of my swords šŸ—”ļø presentable for sale. Hereā€™s a perfect example of before, and after. From start to finish using three different compounds, a mild over-the-counter, stainless steel cleaner, a whitening toothpaste, and a high-end jewelerā€™s silver polish, all applied with a soft toothbrush on the sword itself. And two polishing compounds and buffing wheels on the scabbard. Total time involved, about 4 1/2 hours.

Some how the idea of an vintage (40-100 years old) and an antique (100 years old or more) sword wasn't comprehensible to some individuals.

I had a gentleman visit my booth on Monday at the Iowa Renaissance Festival in Amana that had been there on Sunday. He had bent my ear about one of my swords for almost two hours asking questions for which I diligently showed him references in both print and the internet (which I never trust) and then just left. So Monday he came back to buy it. It was gone. He asked me if I was coming back next weekend, I said no, but I will be at the Elkhorn show at the end of summer. He said he was going and could I bring another one like it.
Now it gets fun. When I told him that the Forge that made the blade has been out of business since 1896 and sword company that put it together since 1904, it could take me years to find another even close to it in a condition and combination of pommels, handles, and cross guards, since there were over 600 combinations, that I would be willing to sell to someone.
Lets just say he was not only confused about this, but then angry when I suggested that if he really had his mind set on that particular type of piece, that he should register with a dozen or so auction houses with what he wants, which I was willing to supply to him, and they would contact him if they found anything close. I then confided in him that most of what I see at auction will go for 2, 3, or 4 times what I sell them for.

It has taken me 50 years of collecting, being in the right place, at the right time and pulling the trigger instantly if I wanted it.
