sword buying advice
this summer, my sister is going to spain (for a week, then israel for a month). one of her stops on the trip is toledo, and i would like her to get me a sword there. can anyone give me any adivce or articles about buying swords, or any adivce spicific to that region (what price, what types of swords they make best{is any}, etc.)? i know some basic things, like stanless steel is bad, get a sword with a full tang, etc, but i would definitly apreciate some prinable info for my sister to read. i would prefer not to get a wall-hanging, but a functional (but unsharpened) sword.
any info would be greatly appreciated.
