You will also need to pay a postage fee to cover the expense of returning your saber to you, so please proceed to checkout if you are satisfied that you have chosen the proper choice.
You would then be required to ship your sword to our address at your expense:
ES Swords
Apartment 22 Ramsden Court
Rotherwas Business Park
The town of Hereford

Royal Commonwealth
All weathering jobs can take up to two weeks (in addition to our production time if you purchase from us), so we will return your saber as quickly as possible once the work has been completed.
Please note that we cannot offer refunds on customized sabers, such as those with weathering, battle scarring, or engraving.
Weathering, Etching and Battle Scarring
We have the option for your sabers to be weathered, etched or battle scarred.
For the weathering, this means that we take your hilt and make it look like it has had long exposure to the atmosphere, giving it a worn, run down look and a battle used kind of look.
With etching we add a stencil in the design you choose to protect your hilt and then use acid to remove the remaining metal giving a 3D textured pattern on your saber.
Battle scarring requires us to make cuts and gouges to your hilt to make it look like it has been used in combat and been hit by another saber.
Each process requires us to either sand parts of the hilt, add marks, scratches, dents or other battle like scars or by adding paints or chemicals to adjust the look of feel of the hilt.
This is very labour intensive and can extend the lead time and increase the cost of the saber. It can take up to 2 weeks to get your saber customised - this is on top of the normal 2 week production time for the parts, core and assembly of everything.
