Dear Delia,
YES I can get you the dimensions/more pictures etc later tonight. I will send you everything within 24 hours for review. So I had an office right next to Peter’s distribution center in Oceanside, CA back over a decade ago. These came directly from HIS distribution center! 😊 I KNOW they are 100% authentic. I don’t have the certificate of authenticity like some of the others I saw on E-Bay. But I did see a couple other swords signed by Peter and my signature is valid and the exact same. I am sure an expert could confirm signature is REAL. 😊 We worked with the girls that worked there. My brother was/is a HUGE Conan The Barbarian fan. So she gave me some collector coins, some dagger letter openers and a few other things. She also asked me if I had someone to give some BROKEN swords to (the head was broken off) So she gave me a couple of broken swords and I sent them to my brother. He fixed them and these two are NOT those. The two I have and I sent you are in perfect condition. They DO have the markings of the big sword company in Spain. I will take pics of all the markings. These are NOT prop swords. They are real and fairly sharp. My brother sharpened HIS so they can cut paper. 😊 But the one that is SIGNED is obviously the one that is worth more. I will take a LOT of pictures and send them along with dimensions. THANK YOU for your help on this! 😊
Sincerely,
Michael
