Thank you
Thank you for your replies.
I did some research before posting so was aware of the Pooleys thing etc. I can get a Wilkinson for £1250 from Sussex Swords but that seems excessive to me so will keep trying elsewhere.
Ask me to justify spending so much on a sword I'll perhaps use only once or twice and I can't, but there you are - why buy an IWC when a Swatch would do etc..
In the meantime, if anyone knows of someone who wants to flog one I'd be grateful for the info...
Happy Pruning.
