Include your full name and address, along with the item(s) you wish to purchase, and we will acknowledge your order via letter. Should you request that I return your call, I will do so on a "collect" basis only, as the cost to do otherwise has become prohibitive.

FAX communication is tailor-made for placing credit card orders, book orders and/or placing specific items on our current list "on hold".

Any items that have been crossed out were sold just prior to this catalog being sent to the printer. We realize it will be impossible to satisfy all of our customers and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and apologize if an item has been previously sold. I would like to reiterate, all edged weapons offered on this list and any future sales lists are original in all respects unless stated otherwise, i.e., we are not offering to our customers any refurbished, revamped and/or "restored" edged weapons. If a dagger or sword makes our list which has a recovered leather scabbard or any replaced part(s), it certainly will be so noted in both the description and the price. In our view, fair is fair! Here are a few words of advice: "Don't delay. Order at once!" The combination of our reasonable prices and outstanding service insures another JRB&M sell-out list.
