This is a customized Del Tin DT2142 hand-and-a-half longsword that I purchased secondhand. It has a custom scabbard and grip done by the previous owner - see below for links to more of his work.

Del Tin has been making swords for over 60 years now, and they're not a name you hear a lot anymore, despite still producing swords. In this review, I take a close look at this type XIIa sword, going over it in great detail and putting it through its paces, cutting a variety of targets in the backyard.

I'm not sure what the exact price of this sword would be, but it's probably in the $500-$600 range. If you're interested in buying one, you can contact Del Tin through their website - linked below.
