This is a really nicely done desk magnifier.  It has weight to it and all the brass is sturdy.  All the joints move nicely.  The glass is nice and crisp and thick, very quality!  The bottom has a thin velvet covering, kinda cheap.  I'd like to replace it with a nice green or maroon velvet.

what a nice piece  better quality than expected,.  its really machined  and engraved nicely engraved  . great addition to your nautical collection

Great gun and quality, perfect for prop in steampunk stage.

Bought this for use at work. I like the antique nautical theme, being retire Boatswains mate. Good quality and useful for "older" eyes.

I was undecided between this sword and another but when I saw that Windlass was now offering the M1840 NCO sword with a leather sheath that did it.  I do not like steel scabbards.  It appears that I made a good decision as it handles well being fast and nimble.  My biggest issue is in the manner in which Windlass chose to add the nomenclature to the ricasso.  I had fully expected it to be stamped but instead it is printed on.  Nicely done but printed, I can feel the raised lettering and no doubt in time will wear off, if I don’t accidently use something that will dissolve it first.  For a complete review see my review on SBG https://sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/56791/windlass-new-m1840-sword-5000836?page=1

I was debating whether to buy the #500350 M1840 NCO Sword or one from another company.  When I saw that Windlass had put new clothes on their old #500350, namely a leather sheath, and called it #500836 and briefly offered it at a 15% discount I jumped at it.  The leather sheath was the selling point.  Well, that and the statistics, principally the weight and balance point also helped.  The sword is nimble, fast, and easily controlled.  The diameter of the grip is a trifle small for my size 8 hand but easily manageable.  A glove gives me a better fit.  It comes without a washer but I made one from an old leather slingshot pouch without difficulty.  The blade is a thrusting blade but after putting a convex razor sharp edge on it, it cuts the traditional soft targets well.  The nomenclature on the ricasso was disappointing as it is printed on the surface where it is subject to wearing off or possibly affected by certain solvents.  I was expecting it to be stamped into the metal.  The grip arrived with a visible parting seam and a bit of flash.  I took care of all with a couple of needle files.  It’s a 5 starrer in my book.

Love the pistol. Looks like the real thing. Will be great at the Renaisance Festival.

I couldn't be more pleased with this high quality reproduction of a classic sword.  It's exactly what I needed for living history/reenacting.  I am currently active duty military and have since purchased several more and had them engraved for senior NCO retirement gifts.  
if you're looking for a great blade at a great value, look no further.

I got this for an additional weapon for my pirate garb.  I love it!  Looks and feels like the real thing.  The authenticity of this replica is astounding!

very happy. a buttiful knife ,fit and finish are  spot on.
