Ahhh...the 'Crecy Grete Swerd' as it was billed in one MyA article. Unlike the current Crecy (like mine or Sir Ian's), which is a type XVI, the FirstGen Crecy was a type XIII, blade by DelTin I believe. As the others have said, this is a good sword, and I've noticed that Del Tins have gone up in price (if not in quality) so $430 is about what it should be- so long as there aren't any major issues with the sword. I'd check to see if that scabbard's a tight fit for that sword...I'd bought one where the scabbard was actually for a different sword and the fit was about as good as you'd expect if you'd say, bought a pair of shoes two sizes too large.
