Longsword with 3D Crossguard - Original Design by Archangel Steel, Handcrafted in Detroit, Michigan (If you order the chain/wire enhancement for your handle wrap, please message us with your preference for twisted wire or chain and your metal color choice, gold or silver. Sometimes we also have copper as a choice.) Overall Length: 44.5” Blade Length: 32.5” Handle Length: 11.5” Handcrafted Item - measurements may vary slightly. Made out of 1075 High Carbon Steel Heat Treated, Hardened to between 53 and 55 Rockwell The photos on our listings are only examples of these items. Since every weapon we make is hand crafted, details, such as color and style of handle wrap, are likely to vary somewhat from weapon to weapon, because of changes in leather color availability and which of our artisans does your wrap. Each piece we make is unique. Your item may not look exactly like the pictures. Black oxide finish is an add-on option on any blade we make. By default, most of our blades are bare, shiny steel. Please contact us if you prefer to add a black oxide finish to your order. NOTE: We have set a long shipping time that is much longer than actual shipping times usually are. If you are concerned about receiving your sword by a certain date, please message us with your "need by" date. ============== Intellectual Property Notice: Also, all the designs and photos of the designs shown in our listings are the intellectual property of Archangel Steel. We have not given permission to anybody else to sell our original designs or to use our photographs. Any other sellers using our photos of our original designs are misrepresenting their listings with photos they've stolen from our website. I am in the process of watermarking all of our photos and will be watermarking all photos we use for our listings going forward. We have been designing and handcrafting blades and other weapons for over 32 years. We have sold our works in person at Renaissance faires and other events for decades. We have also had a longtime Web presence with our Website, our Etsy store, and on most social media platforms. All Archangel Steel designs are designed and handcrafted by us and shipped from where we make them, in Detroit, Michigan. If a seller's listing, using our photos, states they are shipping from another country and not from Michigan, they do not sell our handcrafted weapons. We do also take commissions to design/make custom designs for our customers. I've set the ship date time for much longer than it typically takes us to ship. We generally ship within a week of the order being placed. The ship date setting is set long to allow for custom orders to be completed. We are very communicative, so feel free to message us for more specific estimate of your order ship date. Oh, and if you’re in southeastern Michigan, we can arrange for you to pick up your order for no cost, instead of shipping.
