I am looking to start a LOTR's sword collection but I want to make smart purchases (the closet thing to the originals that I can find.)
I've seen a lot of swords online and at cons, and the truth is some are of less quality than others.
Any thoughts on this?
Have any of you heard of places NOT to shop?
I know many swords are expensive but I wish to collect them over time. Even if some are $200 that is fine. Quality and authenticity is my main concern because many swords can be pricy but are made very poorly.
Side note: I live in Canada, so I need websites that ship to there.
Thanks in advance
